==Z-Force in Burma, WW2==
Employees of the Burma Forest Service, the Bombay Burma Trading Corporation and Foucar Brothers, one of the large timber companies operating in Burma, were recruited to the 'Z-Force', a WW2 joint Allied reconnaissance and sabotage unit, who became 'Johnnies'. It was decided to recruit volunteers who were prepared to go into Burma, hide themselves in selected areas, and report back any information that they could pick up. "All had a thorough knowledge of the jungle, its inhabitants, and their language; all were tough and used to living on their own far from civilization; and all possessed courage of outstanding quality".<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20140226122557/https://www.spink.com//lot-description.aspx?id=100816 Medals of Major C.G. ´Micky´ Merton], November 25, 2010 spink.com, now an archived page.</ref><ref> [https://web.archive.org/web/20180102030655/http://members.madasafish.com/~cj_whitehound/family/Denis_Wilmot_Rae_b1908.htm Denis Wilmot Rae, born circa 1908], an archived webpage.</ref>
