GREAT GALLANTRY
SHOWN BV BRITISH TROOPS IN BURMA FIGHTING WITHOUT REST. AGAINST FORCE THREE TIMES AS NUMEROUS. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, March 5. Correspondents cabling from Burma emphasise the great gallantry of the British, Indian and local troops, who are resisting the enemy against great odds. A “News Chronicle” correspondent says that Rangoon has been defended with a gallantry that has never been surpassed in the military history of the British Empire. He adds: “Without respite, without relief, without adequate sleep, short of equipment and sometimes without food for as long as six days, they have been fighting a regularly reinforced and refreshed Japanese force at least three times as large for the past 44 days.”
