Rediscovered World War II footage reveals frontline British soldiers fighting in Burma recording video messages to their loved ones back home. These heart-warming films featuring soldiers from the Burma campaign were discovered in old film canisters in a Manchester basement and offer a glimpse into the lives of these courageous servicemen as they endured long periods of separation from their homes while serving in the Far East. In all there were 600 messages discovered in the basement of Manchester Town Hall during a refurbishment of the building and given to the North West Film Archive.
