New series 1/3. "And then, officially, we were mechanised". Mark Tully presents a unique, untapped testimony that recalls the almost forgotten role of the Indian Army during the Second World War. It was a remarkable fighting force of men from almost every caste and creed, serving under both British and Indian officers, that bore the brunt of the Japanese attack on Malaya and Burma. Tully begins with the transformation of the Indian
Army, changing horses for tanks, and small arms for artillery, into a force that became the world's s largest
- volunteer army. Producer Vanessa Harrison
