Hello and welcome to the first World War II podcast of 2018. A very happy new year to you all.

In this episode we'll be looking at two British soldiers in occupied Burma.

Major Hugh Seagram operated for two years behind the lines,

organizing the Karan Resistance before he was eventually forced to surrender.

Seagram crosses paths. before he was eventually forced to surrender.

Seagram crosses paths in the jungle with Roy Pagani. Roy is trying to make his way back to British Lions

after escaping as a POW working on the Burma Railway.

Pagani is the most remarkable of men as he has already escaped from Dunkirk

and Singapore when it fell. But before we get started

just to remind you if you enjoy the podcast every two weeks why not help me to

put the show together with a small recurring donation each month of a dollar or so.

It's easy to do via Patreon or PayPal and you can find the details at W.W.2 Podcast.

dot com slash donate.

Those small donations help me to find the time to do this for you

and it's surprising the amount of time I have to put into researching, recording, editing and the website and the whole social media thing.

I do try to give something extra to supporters of the show with bits that were left on the

cutting room floor which I hope might be of interest. So that's W.W.2

podcast.com slash donate to sign up via paypal or patreon. So joining me today is Philip Davis.

Philip is the author of Lost Warriors, Seagram and Pagani of Burba, the last

great untool story of World War II. I can tell you now it's a great read about

two remarkable men.

So thanks for joining me.
