Burma veterans hand standard to Duxford museum

Veterans from East Anglia who fought in Burma during World War Two gathered to hand over their standard to the Imperial War Museum at Duxford.

"This is a very poignant moment for us," said Jimmy Kemp, 90, standard bearer of the Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Essex Borders Branch of the Burma Star Association which is being retired.

It will be displayed in the Forgotten War display, along with other items relating to the Burma campaign.
