Summary
British soldiers in the jungle of Burma firing bren guns, and loading and firing 25 pounders in their constant battle against the Japanese. With pack mules they trek through jungle and across streams. In torrential rain they carry their supplies up hill to the flimsy tents where they will spend the night and almost dropping from exhaustion they line up for their tea and rations.
