Image: SE 003071 Shermans driving on Meiktila
Description: The original IWM caption reads, "Sherman tanks and trucks of 62nd Motorised Brigade advancing on the road between Nyaungyu on the Irrawaddy bridgehead and Meiktila, March 1945." This however is slightly incorrect, possibly as the result of deliberate wartime disinformation. No 62nd Brigade was involved at Nyaungu or Meiktila (being part of 19th Division, engaged at Mandalay); the 63rd Brigade, part of 17th Division was part of the advance on Meiktila.
