An Anti-Tank Regiment enjoy the pleasure of an improvised oven and a well-organised post office at their camp two miles south of Tiddim, Burma.

The men of 351st Battery 56th Anti-Tank Regiment Royal Artillery have improvised an oven made of two empty ammunition boxes. A pie is cooked and removed from the oven by Corporal C Bell of Battersea. Post sacks and mail lie on the ground. A soldier stamps letters. Men are served food (these shots are very dark). The men eat. A panoramic view of Kennedy Peak.

Notes

5th Indian Division began advancing along the Tiddim Road in July 1944 following the abandonment of the Japanese offensive against Imphal. Tiddim was occupied on 17 October and the advance continued towards Kalemyo. 5th Indian Division was eventually withdrawn from the line in the first week of December, having been in action for 14 months.
