This question is put as a result of reading the “D-Day Dodger” question by Richard_H. In the wide-ranging answers no one mentions the Burma Campaign. The 14th Army which fought in Burma was popularly called “The Forgotten Army”, yet historical analysis shows that British Commonwealth soldiers saw more fighting against the Japanese in SE Asia than did the Americans in the Pacific. Was the 14th justifiably called The Forgotten Army? If so, why? Also, to what extent might Hollywood distort historical truths that marr objective judgment to this day?
