British, Africans, carry load –
Indians, Gurkhas fight;
Americans built the Ledo Road
In secret laboured might.
While stores of war rolled on and on,
Took tears and sweat and blood;
A two-mile wooden causeway won
Road rose above the flood.
Twelve thousand miles of sea and land
Their great equipment crossed;
In these wild hills of swamp and sand
In red mud, mules were lost.
The first three verses of the poem ‘Stilwell’s Road’, taken from the book Stars of Burma.
