My father,Sydney (Chiller) Starns, was serving with the Durhams in Burma. On 16th June 1944, in a place called Mao Sonsan, he was wounded by machine gun fire,on the same day, back home,our house was bombed and I was wounded, albeit only slightly!
In his diary he wrote_ Moved forward and took a hill, no opposition, had been digging in for about 10 mins when he opened up m with m/g and caught several of us. Sent to M.D.S. for operation and spent the night there.
