WWII in SEAC

During WWII, my father - Tom Frost - served as an Intelligence Officer in India and Burma (1944 & 1945) with the XVIth Army fighting against the Japanese. When the war ended, he was posted to Saigon to play a role in Operation Masterdom, where the seeds for the American and French wars in Vietnam were sown. 

He then moved to the Dutch Celebes to help deal with a mutiny of Dutch troops. He had chosen to the Dutch mutiny over an Australian mutiny, as the Australian troops had shot and killed some of their officers. The Dutch had imprisoned their officers and made sure that they had food and water.
