The boy, whose name is never revealed, was just 10 years old when the Japanese invaded Burma in 1942. His father, a British army officer, was killed in the fighting, and his mother was forced to flee with him and his younger sister. They eventually made their way to a refugee camp, but the conditions there were appalling. The boy and his family were constantly hungry and sick, and they were always in danger of attack from the Japanese.

In 1944, the boy and his family decided to make a daring escape from the camp. They traveled on foot through the jungle, hiding from the Japanese and foraging for food. The journey was treacherous, and they often came close to death. But the boy never gave up hope. He knew that he had to keep going, for the sake of himself and his family.

After weeks of travel, the boy and his family finally reached safety. They were taken in by a kind family who helped them to rebuild their lives. The boy eventually went on to become a successful businessman and family man. But he never forgot the horrors that he had witnessed during the war.

Boy Escape From Wartime Burma is a powerful and moving memoir that sheds light on one of the darkest chapters in human history. It is a story of survival, courage, and hope that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
