The British Fourteenth Army was a multi-national force comprising units from Commonwealth countries during the Second World War. As well as British Army units, many of its units were from the Indian Army and there were also significant contributions from British Army's West and East African divisions. It was often referred to as the "Forgotten Army" because its operations in the Burma Campaign were overlooked by the contemporary press, and remained more obscure than those of the corresponding formations in Europe for long after the war. For most of the Army's existence, it was commanded by Lieutenant-General William Slim.

  • Die Fourteenth Army (deutsch 14. Armee) war ein Großverband des britischen Heeres im Zweiten Weltkrieg. Die im Herbst 1943 in Ostindien gebildete 14. Armee bestand aus Einheiten fast aller Länder des Commonwealth. Ihre Aufgabe bestand in der Befreiung des von den Japanern besetzten Burma. Sie galt schon 1944 während ihre Operationen als „vergessene Armee“, weil der Nebenkriegsschauplatz in Burma 1944 von der zeitgenössischen britischen Presse in Europa keine Beachtung fand. Sie war zahlenmäßig die größte Commonwealth Armee, die jemals zusammengestellt wurde. (de)
