Dear Blogger
Village Home Front - COLONEL JOHN KENYON OBE & MILITARY CROSS
Not everyone is quite so familiar with the war in Burma, so I have copied this from useful summary published in 2015.
https://www.gov.uk/government/news/vj-day-70-the-second-world-war-in-burma
It gives an indication of what John Kenyon of Pradoe, West Felton experienced in the jungles of Burma.
If you have never heard of Vegnavite and why John`s mates were pulling his leg, this is what I found on line, you can still buy it today,
Pregna Vite is a comprehensive prenatal multivitamin and mineral supplement designed to support maternal and fetal health during pregnancy, containing high levels of folic acid and vitamin D, along with other essential nutrients.
John never forgot how important Mules had been in the Burma campaign and he regularly had a service at Pradoe church to which mules were invited!
