POLISH OFFICERS IN THE ROYAL WEST AFRICAN FRONTIER FORCE IN BURMA - Polish officer, Major Stanisław Lisiecki, CO of the B Company, 1st Battalion, the Gambia Regiment (6st West African Infantry Brigade, 81st West African Division) talking to one of his men, 6 June 1945. There are now over 100,000 West Africans in India and Burma. Picture taken with men of the 81st West African Division, which has been in action against the Japanese for over a year, and which is now recognised as one of the most efficient fighting machines in Burma. With the 81st West African Division, supply from the air has been brought to a fine art. The Division has been thus supplied for many months, and the Royal Air Force and the Royal West African Frontier Force now work in perfect harmony. Wounded have also to be taken out by air, and in the jungle the ability of the African to hack out an airstrip using only his machete is invaluable.
