When we think of the fighting in the Far East between Britain, her allies, and the Japanese, we often picture thick jungles, impossibly steep hills, and dense terrain. This has led to the common perception of it being an infantryman’s war.
However, armour played a crucial and often overlooked role in this theatre of war.
In this episode, I’m joined by Jack Bowsher, author of Forgotten Armour. His book begins with the interwar Indian Army’s struggle to fully mechanise, then traces the evolution of armoured training, logistics, and tactics.
We explore how, once tanks arrived and bunker-busting methods were developed, armoured units became decisive in their encounters against the Japanese, saving countless Allied lives.
