In this exclusive film, Tim Cooper visits Viscount Slim — grandson of the legendary Second World War commander and Chairman of the Burma Star Memorial Fund— for an intimate look at a treasure trove of historical items. From a razor-sharp Japanese sword surrendered in 1945, to the pen that signed peace, and even the stark telegram announcing Britain’s entry into war, each item tells a powerful story.
