Slim's Burma Boys relates the personal experiences of men who
fought the "Forgotten War" of the Burma campaign. Hill wanted his
readers to know what it was like to be there and with this in mind
he selected a variety of operations and events from B Company of
the 2nd Battalion, the Royal Berkshire Regiment, which he
commanded. He was one of the only men to survive the border
crossing into Burma. The Company earned two Military Crosses, a
Distinguished Conduct Medal, four Military Medals, and a mention in
Despatches. Hill conveys the intensity of involvement in the
action, experiencing the adrenaline rush as well as the fear and
courage of those who took part in swollen river crossings, patrols,
ambushes, skirmishes and major actions against a ruthless and
determined enemy who would never surrender. His memoir is of
general interest as well as a fitting memoir to his men and should
be prescribed reading for all would-be officers and soldiers.
