(Turned on the tv today to find memorial service for VJ Day, it got me wondering about British involvement in the Pacific theatre.

I hated my history teacher at school, so I didn't even study the subject at gcse level. As such, most of my WW2 knowledge is self taught, and I know next to nothing about events outside of Europe.)

Was hoping someone could give me a brief overview of what the British did in the far east during the war, and what effect it had on the country& the empire as a whole.
