Dad was in the CBI in WWII (he also referred to it as the "FBI" Forgotten Bast***s of India) 1943-45.
Like many a soldier, he counted the days of his service. He did so on these home made calendars.
Here's a few more mementos of his service...

As you can see, he was an MP. One of his duties was going over Jap bodies looking for items of interest for military intelligence. These are a few things they didn't need that he kept.
The book he allowed he couldn't really remember where he picked up or if it was Chinese or Japanese.

I'm told this is something like a newsletter supplied to Jap troops. Mostly propaganda and of no military value. I haven't a clue what it says. Anybody read Japanese???

Dad somewhere in Burma...
