Ceylon, modern day Sri Lanka, was a strategic point for the allies in WW2 including hosting thousands of Australians.
Meg Adams has recently contributed to a book titled In the fight- Australians and that war in Burma 1942-1945. Meg talks to us about the contributions and support of allied troops in Ceylon by units and some of the volunteers and aid workers including some remarkable women.
Meg’s chapter is titled Proud of their part- Volunteers in Ceylon. The book 'In the fight- Australians and the war in Burma 1942-1945' is edited by Andrew Kilsby and Daryl Moran and is published by Big Sky Publishing.
