There were 6 Battalions of the York & Lancaster Regiment posted to Burma.

Some info here:

There is a regimental museum as well.

your best start would be to write to the records people and ask for a copy of his service history, from that you can pretty much trace his movements.

Regards

Would be helpful to know your father's name, in order to help you
further. If he is still living however, or if you prefer not to give details,
you can send me a private message.
I have an ancester that was killed in Burma and played an active roll
in the infamous "Battle of the TennisCourts", so I have some very specific
reference resources, regarding the war in Burma.
