Japanese Guns And Vehicles Help Dacoits In Burma Jungles

In Burma, where banditry is an industry as traditional as it is in the Balkans, British troops are fighting an old and notorious foe: the dacoit.

Dacoity was never completely stamped out before World War Two, and it became in some ways a patriotic pastime during the Japanese occupation. When the coun- try was liberated, dacoits kept their taste for the old trade, and political dissension inside the country probably added to their incentive and their numbers.
