  My father was a veteran of WW2. First stationed in East Africa, then later Burma. He made it back. He never liked talking about the war. Anytime he did, he started smoking again... He described the battlefield as a difficult terrain complicated with scattered dead bodies with the stench of decay hanging in the air. And, they still have to push through. We still have his uniforms,, medals, and pictures preserved......

  @Kweku Tsin, your story is a bit funny, maybe your father only talked about the war when he wanted to start smoking again, hahaha. That reminds me of an Italian girl I used to work with - she found it difficult to quit smoking, and whenever she tried to stop she would claim that she was putting on weight even though no one could see it, hahaha

  The historical account is true. The Headquarters of the forces used to be at the current Achimota Police Station until Sir Giffard decided to relocate it to now Burma Camp. As a result the route used by the troops from Achimota through Dzowulu, Accra Girls, 37 Mil Hosp to Burma was named after him ie Giffard Road until Former President Kuffour changed the name from Dzowulu - 37 Mil Hosp to Olusangu Ogbansanjo Highway. As at date the rest of the road from 37 Mil Hosp to La T-Junction is still called Giffard Road.

  Please honour the contribution of the brave soldiers who served in the military by putting their names on the barracks that carry foreign names such as Kamina, Uaddara, Gondar etc..
