This is a very interesting feature on Nigerians who fought in world war two. Apparently Nigerian soldiers made up over half of the 90,000 West African troops that fought the Japanese in the Burma War. Brigadier Babafemi Ogundipe (of January-July 1966 fame) was a Burma war veteran too. You can read the story at the following link: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/8201717.stm Plus there are interview with some of the Nigerian veterans here: http://www.dansusman.com/Burma_Vets/
