The American Field Service in World War ll

This talk is a remembrance of Bill Cosgrove's father and other AFS Volunteers who served as Ambulance Drivers with the American Field Service (AFS) in WW2. All the AFS men served in the British Army in WW2 in places such as North Africa, Italy and India. Bill's father turned 20 on his way to India to serve with General William Slim's British 14th Army. His story includes the harrowing retreat from Tamu, Burma in the face of the Imperial Japanese Army's last offensive during the spring of 1944, and the British Army's most famous battle - the Siege of Imphal.
