BURMA FORCES WELFARE ASSOCIATION 

The BFWA was formed to provide financial aid to the Burmese soldiers who fought with the British Armed Forces against the Japanese during the second world war. These fighting men have been forgotten by successive UK governments and are not supported within Burma. The BFWA aim is to ensure the remaining Burmese old soldiers spend the last years of their lives with dignity and honour.
