| Background Information | The Burma Star Association is a military charity, seeking "to promote the comradeship experienced in the bitter fighting in the jungles of Burma, and also to set up a welfare organisation so that members and widows in need can be given poverty assistance in times of ill-health or other debilitating circumstances." It was established following the Second World War, under the guidance of Lord Louis Mountbatten and Field Marshal Lord Slim, with a membership of those British military personnel who served in the Burma campaign. Charity no. 1043040. Source: www.burmastar.org.uk |
