There were a large number of casualties in the Burma Campaigns, both battle and illness.
Lieutenant Colonel R. Wigglesworth, M.B., B.S. Lond., Royal Army Medical Corps, wrote an excellent article titled
"The Burma Campaigns - 1942-1945. A History Of Casualty Evacuation" which was published in the British Medical Journal. It can be viewed on this link https://jramc.bmj.com/content/jramc/91/3/101.full.pdf
Below is a video interview with Lucy Betteridge-Dyson whose grandfather was Captain Ted Syms of 44RM Commando which was part of 3 Commando Brigade. It relates primarily to the campaign in Burma culminating at the Battle of Hill 170 in the Arakan, Burma. Well worth listening to.
