This is the story of Maurice E. LaClair's experiences fighting in the "Forgotten War"- the CBI (China-Burma-India) Theater of operations during World War II. My father-in-law has shared with me bits and pieces of his war stories over the past thirty-five years. These are his experiences as he recalls them, in an interview ten days before his eighty-eighth birthday, on Monday, August 2nd, 2010.
