About this listen

 ‘A remarkable tale, either the man should have been court-martialled - or he should have received instant promotion and a decoration.’ Winston Churchill

This is a true and inspiring story of triumph over incredible adversity.
A Royal Marine who, having been wounded in the early stages of the Japanese invasion of Burma in WW2, undertakes a long and solitary march through the length of country to escape the advancing enemy. He then has to find his way across India and back to Britain to report for duty in Plymouth.
On his journey William Doyle has many encounters and adventures and helps a wide variety of British, Indian and Burmese refugees using skills that he had gained during his training and earlier life.
Once he reaches safety Doyle then has to overcome complete disbelief by the authorities that a single man could walk out of Burma with nothing but his orders - to report to HQ - and his own initiative.

‘An amazing and inspiring story.’ BBC Radio Military & War Inspiring Military
