Sithu Lt Col Raymond Campagnac's life story through the words of his daughter, Sandra Campagnac-Carney
Manage episode 350618534 series 2286062
Sithu (a very prestigious award for bravery and gallantry) Colonel Raymond Campagnac was born in August 1921 and passed away in November, 1989. He was Anglo Burmese as were both his parents.
His daughter Sandra Campagnac - Carney has written a biography of his life entitled Burma's Son (published in 2020 by Blue Mist Publication and available in several ebook shops). I was made aware of his remarkable life by another of my podcast subjects, Sithu Captain Kyaw Thein Lwin - see Episodes 31 to 34. He believes the enormous contribution of the Anglo Burmese to Burma in general and specifically to the success of the Allied Forces in Burma during WW2 and in fighting for Burma's independence have largely been overlooked or forgotten. Sandra's biography of her father goes some way in remedying that.
