DESCRIPTION: It was announced from South East Asia Command on August 6th that British troops of the 14th Army had crossed the Burma frontier to capture the village of Tamu, in the Kasaw Valley. Although small, Tamu is strategically important and has now become a large supply depot for forward allied troops. It was damaged by the Japanese before they withdrew and many Buddhist temples are completely shattered. Picture shows: The winding road to Tamu. On the top left of the road is the hill known as 'Crete West'
