The National Army Museum wishes to appoint a suitable, experienced graphics contractor to manufacture, print and install graphics for the National Army Museum's temporary exhibition, 'Beyond Burma: Forgotten Armies' which opens to the public on 16th September 2025 and closes 16th April 2026. The exhibition space is 150sq metres. The exhibition will commemorate the eightieth anniversary of the end of the Burma campaign. It will cover the Retreat from Burma in 1942, the resurgence and transformation of the British and Indian armies in India during 1943, as well as the effective campaigns against the Imperial Japanese during 1944-1945. In particular, it will also highlight the role of the Indian soldiers who continued to serve across Southeast Asia long after the end of the Second World War. The Burma campaign is often called the 'Forgotten War' and the Fourteenth Army nicknamed the 'Forgotten Army'. However, the really forgotten aspect of the war are the large numbers of Indian and African soldiers who fought in Burma and the exhibition will explore their contribution. Graphic elements include main text panels, sub-text panels, large scale wallpapers, fabric printing, object labels and facsimilies of some works on paper.
