[Foreword] The picture you are about to see tells the story of one of the greatest victories of World War II. It is the story of an almost forgotten front - the Chinese-Burma-India front. It is a story of humiliating defeat, of flaming courage and a hard won victory. You will see in it many battles and many stirring scenes, but more than anything else, this is the story of Scots, Irish, English, Welsh, Australians, New Zealanders, Indians, Gurkhas, Burmese, Africans, Chinese and Americans and how they fought and planned side by side for a common objective, the achievement of total victory. Here was a victory that was won over almost insurmountable obstacles. Success was made possible only by the ability of men of all nations to work together. Study this picture carefully. Learn this lesson well. Because, unless we, the free men of the world, learn the lesson it teaches we will never be able to maintain the peace, the freedom and the security for which all of us have fought.
