Scottish Troops Into North Burma -- To the stirring rhythm of bagpipes, played by the Piper at the right foreground, Royal Scots Fusiliers of the British 36th Division step carefully across a half-submerged bridge as they ford a jungle stream in northern Burma. Another Piper (on bridge) carries both pipes and a shovel. The troops were moving down the Myitkyina-Mandalay railway corridor as part of a new Allied thrust against the Japanese in the north Burma area. January 3, 1945.
