Assosication.
The Burma Star Memorial Fund is a registered
charity (number 1109753) and was established in 2005. It exists to allow
the legacy of the Burma Star veterans to live on and to continue to be
commemorated. The Memorial Fund focuses on the remembrance aspect of the
Burma Campaign and will ensure that those who served in the Campaign
will never be forgotten. It is connected to the Burma Star Association
which was set up in 1951 to relieve hardship or distress among the men
and women who served in HM and Allied Forces or the Nursing Services in
the Burma Campaign of the 1939-1945 war or who were otherwise entitled
to be holders of the Burma Star or Pacific Star with Burma clasp and for
their widows, widowers or dependents.
The Memorial Fund runs a
Burma Star Academic and Military Awards programme. The Burma Star award
recipients study in fields related to the Burma Campaign. Our plan is to
draw scholars from around the world who, like the 14th Army, are excited
by the thought that the world can be a better place.
The Burma
Star memorial grove at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire
provides a tangible place for those who wish to reflect and remember
Burma Star holders throughout the year. A service of remembrance is held
at the Grove each year in May to commemorate those who died in the Burma
campaign. Wreath laying ceremonies are also held by the Memorial Fund at
the memorials to Lord Louis Mountbatten and Field Marshal Slim in
September of each year in London.
