Slim’s Secret Weapon: The Forgotten SOE Campaign in Burma
Update: 2025-05-19
Description
The SOE’s secret war in Burma is one of the most overlooked chapters of WWII. In this episode, historian Richard Duckett uncovers the remarkable story of Lt. Col. Edgar Peacock—a jungle-hardened guerrilla leader who fought the Japanese with a force of locals deep behind enemy lines. Denied medals and buried by bureaucracy, their story is only now being told.
Lt. Colonel Peacock's Grandson Duncan also joined us in this episode.
