In December 1941 the Japanese invaded Burma. For the British, the
longest land campaign of the Second World War had begun. 100,000
African soldiers were taken from Britain's colonies to fight the
Japanese in the Burmese jungles. They performed heroically in one
of the most brutal theatres of war, yet their contribution has been
largely ignored. Isaac Fadoyebo was one of those 'Burma Boys'. At
the age of sixteen he ran away from his Nigerian village to join
the British Army. Sent to Burma, he was attacked and left for dead
in the jungle by the Japanese. Sheltered by courageous local rice
farmers, Isaac spent nine months in hiding before his eventual
rescue. He returned to Nigeria a hero, but his story was soon
forgotten. Barnaby Phillips travelled to Nigeria and Burma in
search of Isaac, the family who saved his life, and the legacy of
an Empire. Another Man's War is Isaac's story.
