520 The saga of China, Burma, India-World War II's forgotten
theater-is as heroic as it is seldom told. CBI ground
troops were charged with the Herculean task of carving a
road from India to China through humid jungles where
disease was as great a hazard as the Japanese, and pilots
who "flew the Hump," the treacherous flight route over the
Himalayas, braved violent monsoon rains, deadly wind
shifts, and mountainsides that suddenly loomed from the
clouds. Richard Beard, an Army psychologist assigned to
the 142nd General Hospital in Calcutta, dealt daily with
emotional trauma. While American and British soldiers
hacked their way through dense tropical forests to build
the supply route, Beard immersed himself in the internal
jungles of those he treated. A pillar to the men he served,
Beard was an astute listener and observer, pleased to be
playing his part. But his own pillar was his wife, Reva,
teaching school half a world away in Findlay, Ohio. In
daily letters to Reva, he poured out not only his
observations of life in India but also his own longing and
passions, and the unfolding drama of war, in painfully
exquisite detail tempered with tenderness and humor.
Reva's return letters are filled with news of the home
front and stories of her young students, but through them
all courses a longing for Richard's safe return. In these
letters the couple's devotion to each other in the face of
separation and their willingness to see the war through to
its end demonstrate once again the dedication of the World
War II generation.
