Nathan N. Prefer (US Military historian) Vinegar Joe's War (Stilwell's Campaigns for Burma) "...We got run out of Burma and it is humiliating as hell. I think we ought to find out what caused it, go back and retake it..." A vivid story of Merrill's Marauders' campaigns in Burma. It's interesting to note the significant support provided by Det 101 and its Kachin Rangers during the campaigns. Carl Eifler and John Coughlin also personally selected Jack Girsham to act as General Merrill's war time guide through the jungles of Burma.

Jack Girsham with Lowell Thomas Burma Jack "Burma Jack" was one of the great jungle men of his time --- a teakwood logger in Burma's "back of beyond", an intrepid hunter of the murderous man-eating tiger and the rogue elephant, and wartime guide with Merrill's Maurauders in their drive to the Burma Road. Jack was already a legend in his time when the war came. He was recuperating in St. Luke's Hospital in Chabua when Col. Carl Eifler and Col. John Coughlin recruited him as the war time guide for Merrill's Marauders. Jack acted as scout, guide and interpreter with the Intelligence and Reconnaissance Platoons of Merrill's Marauders into Walabun and Myitkyina.
