Introduction
The idea of a Memorial Library on the Burma Campaign first
arose in 1995, when it was observed that there was no single
comprehensive collection of books on what had been the longest
continuous campaign of World War II. Would not such a
collection be a fitting memorial to the tragedy and heroism and
futility of war; a treasure house for the dwindling brotherhood
who had participated in the campaign; a resource for future
scholars and historians; and a measure of insurance that a
campaign overshadowed at the time by the vast events in Europe
and the Pacific, should not become a mere footnote to history?
As a first step, lists were obtained from the British National
Bibliography, Whitaker’s Cumulative Database, the Bodleian
Library and the Imperial War Museum. The Burma section of
A. G. Enser’s 1975 Subject Bibliography of Second World War
Books in English was consulted, as were specialized biblio-
graphies such as ‘English-Language Fiction about the War in
Burma’ compiled by Lewis Hill of the University of Hull. Lists
of books in personal libraries were volunteered. Authors’
bibliographies at the ends of their books were scanned. Privately
published books and unpublished manuscripts came to light.
So began what proved to be a four-year project, consisting
initially of pledges of books from personal libraries. Parting with
treasured books is hard, so those who did not feel ready to donate
their books in their lifetimes were invited to leave instructions
to their heirs. Such personal gifts and bequests are the largest
component of the Memorial Library. On the flyleaf of each
donated book is a bookplate giving the name and details of
service of the donor, who in some cases is also the author.
Soon the search, aided by networking among members of the
Burma Star Association and many reunion groups, became inter-
national. The war in Burma had involved the forces of many
nations. In addition to books published in Britain, which con-
stitute the majority of the collection, there are books from the
United States, India, Burma, Australia and Canada. There are
v


Introduction
also a few books translated from Japanese into English, and a
start has been made, with the help of the All-Burma Veterans’
Association of Japan, in assembling a collection of Japanese
books.
After two years of voluntary effort, it became clear that finance
was needed to complete the project. The Burma Campaign
Fellowship Group, which, since it was founded in 1990, has done
much to improve understanding between Japanese and British
veterans, made an application to the Great Britain Sasakawa
Foundation for funds, not only to buy books, but to contribute to
the installation and upkeep of the Fibrary.
To back this application, it was necessary first to find a
permanent home for the Fibrary, where it would be easily
accessible to present and future generations. An approach was
made to the Fibrary of the School of Oriental and African Studies
(SOAS), which is the premier centre for Asian studies in the UK
and has an historical connection with the war in Japan, since it
provided crash courses in the Japanese language during World
War II. The SOAS Fibrary not only agreed to house the Memorial
Fibrary as a discrete collection, but to integrate with it relevant
titles already in their collections.
After securing this generous help from the GB Sasakawa
Foundation and SOAS, a further two years were spent in tracking
down and purchasing rare titles, mainly through booksellers
specialising in military history. There was also substantial
correspondence with veterans of the Burma war in many parts of
the world. Valuable manuscripts which were in danger of oblivion
were uncovered. By early 1999, about 600 of the 750 titles in the
bibliography had been acquired, a sufficient number to justify the
transfer of the collection to SOAS and its public inauguration.
The launch of the Library is not the end of the project. Titles
still to be acquired will be added. Unrecorded titles will be
identified. New books are being written, and there will be more
books in the future. A library is a living thing. In the care of
skilled librarians it will last for hundreds of years. Its purpose is
not merely to store knowledge and impart information, but to
stimulate thought. Libraries are the vehicles which pass, from
generation to generation, the lessons learned, wisdom, experience,
and, less deliberately, insight into the follies of those who have

Introduction
gone before. In the Burma Campaign Memorial Library, dealing,
as it does, with the subject of war, an infliction self-imposed by
humanity - which at the end of this stormy century shows no
signs of abating - there is plenty of folly to be pondered on. But
mainly it is a record of courage, stoicism, endurance and sacrifice.

Prefatory notes
1 This publication is both a catalogue and a bibliography.
Asterisked titles have not been acquired as it goes to press,
(sc = soft cover : n.d. = no date)
2 Access to the Library is open to SOAS Library card holders
and is free to Burma veterans, on production of their
membership cards to the Burma Star Association or any
other veterans’ association.
3 When there is only one copy of a title in the Library, it may
not be borrowed, but can be consulted and studied in the
SOAS Special Collection Reading Room. Duplicate copies of
a title will normally be available for loan. It is anticipated
that as a result of future additions, the number of loan copies
will increase.
4 A list of books in the Japanese language is available on
request to SOAS.

Introduction THE IDEA of a Memorial Library on the Burma Campaign first arose in 199 5, when it was observed that there was no single comprehensive collection of books on what had been the longest continuous campaign of World War II . Would not such a collection be a fitting memorial to the tragedy and heroism and futility of war; a treasure house for the dwindling brotherhood who had participated in the campaign; a resource for future scholars and historians; and a measure of insurance that a campaign overshadowed at the time by the vast events in Europe and the Pacific, should not become a mere footnote to history? As a first step, lists were obtained from the British National Bibliography, Whitaker's Cumulative Database, the Bodleian Library and the Imperial War Museum. The Burma section of A . G. Enser's 1975 Subject Bibliography of Second World War Books in English was consulted, as were specialized biblio graphies such as 'English-Language Fiction about the War in Burma' compiled by Lewis Hill of the University of Hull. Lists of books in personal libraries were volunteered. Authors' bibliographies at the ends of their books were scanned. Privately published books and unpublished manuscripts came to light. So began what proved to be a four-year project, consisting initially of pledges of books from personal libraries. Parting with treasured books is hard, so those who did not feel ready to donate their books in their lifetimes were invited to leave instructions to their heirs. Such personal gifts and bequests are the largest component of the Memorial Library. On the flyleaf of each donated book is a bookplate giving the name and details of service of the donor, who in some cases is also the author. Soon the search, aided by networking among members of the Burma Star Asso cia tion and many reunion groups, became inter national. The war in Burma had involved the forces of many nations. In addition to books published in Britain, which con stitute the majority of the collection, there are books from the United States, India, Burma, Australia and Canada. There are v

PAGE 8

Introduction also a few books translated from Japanese into English, and a start has been made, with the help of the All-Burma Veterans' Association of Japan, in assembling a collection of Japanese books. After two years of voluntary effort, it became clear that finance was needed to complete the project. The Burma Campaign Fellowship Group, which, since it was founded in 1990, has done much to improve understanding between Japanese and British veterans, made an application to the Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation for funds, not only to buy books, but to contribute to the installation and upkeep of the Library. To back this application, it was necessary first to find a permanent home for the Library, where it would be easily accessible to present and future generations . An approach was made to the Library of the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), whi c h is the premier centre for Asian studies in the UK and has an historical connection with the war in Japan, s ince it provided crash courses in the Japanese language during World War II. The SOAS Library not only agreed to house the Memorial Library as a discrete collection, but to integrate with it relevant titles already in their collections. After securing this generous help from the GB Sasakawa Foundation and SOAS, a further two years were spent in tracking down and purchasing rare titles, mainly through booksellers specialising in military history. There was also substantial correspondence with veterans of the Burma war in many parts of the world. Valuable manuscripts which were in danger of oblivion were uncovered. By early 1999, about 600 of the 750 titles in the bibliography had been acquired, a sufficient number to justify the transfer of the collection to SOAS and its public inauguration. The launch of the Library is not the end of the project. Titles still to be acquired will be added. Unrecorded titles will be identified. New books are being written, and there will be more books in the future. A library is a living thing . In the care of skilled librarians it will last for hundreds of years. Its purpose is not merely to store knowledge and impart information, but to stimulate thought. Libraries are the vehicles which pass, from generation to generation, the lessons learned, wisdom, experience, and, less deliberately, in s ight into the follies of those who have VI

Introduction gone before. In the Burma Campaign Memorial Library, dealing, as it does, with the subject of war, an infliction self-imposed by humanity which at the end of this stormy century shows no signs of abating there is plenty of folly to be pondered on. But mainly it is a record of courage, stoicism, endurance and sacrifice. WGG May 1999 VII

Prefatory notes I This publication is both a catalogue and a bibliography. Asterisked titles have not been acquired as it goes to pre ss. (sc = soft cover: n.d. = no date) 2 Access to the Librar y is open to SOAS Library card holders and is free to Burma veterans, on production of their membership cards to the Burma Star Association or any other veter ans' a ssociation. 3 When th e r e is only one cop y of a title in th e Library, it ma y not be borrowed, but can be consulted and studied in the SOAS Special Collection Reading Room . Duplicate copies of a title will normally be available for loan. It is anticipated that as a result of future additions, the number of loan copies will increase. 4 A list of books in the Japanese language is a v aila ble o n request to SOAS. 5 The compilers will gratefully receive information about inaccuracies and additions at the following address: Burma Campaign Library Project, 5 Beechwood Drive, Marlow, SL7 2DH.
