My Dad Albert Wellings passed away in 2003. I would love to hear from anyone that could account for which column he was in 47 or 74). Lamberts account seems toconcur with everything dad told me happened in Burma from the training to the Capetown castle but I am still sketchy on which actions he may have been involved in.

My grandfather was in the 7th Leicesters (Muleteer) Arthur John Perrin. My nan said he became so attached to Bessy his mule he wanted to bring her home at the end of the campaign. Any info on the 7th Leicesters and the operations they specifically undertook would be greatful. Have photos of 7th Leicesters if anyone would like copies sant to them just contact me via e-mail. Will need to sort through them so could take a little time.

My Father Harold William Wilkes was with the 7th Leics Regt assigned to 14th Infantry Brigade (Javelin)? 74 column. He was with Wingate at some point and captured by the Japanese. He escaped with cerebral spinal malaria and shipped to Rangoon to hospital. He never spoke of his experiences only saying the Japs were cruel. Dad had a dachshund called I think Monty - I have a picture of him and his fellow soldiers with him holding this dog. Dad suffered from malaria from time to time all his life, and he died from a brain haemmorage in February 1973 aged 54. Can anyone help fill in the gaps for me. Does anyone know anything about Dad? If not, where can I find information. I wish I had started this when Mum was still alive. She passed away in January 2011 aged 89. Please help if you can. thanks

My dear Dad DERRICK FINCH died last June 2010, aged 87, after a long battle with Alzheimer's. Dad was a soldier in Royal Corps of Signals during Burma campaign & although wounded recalled fondly his time in India. Other than that he never really spoke of this diffcult 5 years he spent away from UK. Mum recalls his letters saying he'd volunteered for "something special" & the only thing he told us kids was that he made many parachute drops and was behind enemy lines, so I wonder if he was in the Chindits? Any recollections of Dad, known to his comrades as "MANGOE FINCH", or of the signals part in Burma, would be so precious to us. Thank you.

My father was in 1st Batt Lancashire Fusiliers and wrote a diary about Operation Thursday . I would be happy to scan it if anyone would like a personal account-eg of visits by the commanders, life with mules etc. talks about losses at the landing strip, but haven't yet read the next part! My father died three years ago but it is interesting learning more about those years, and why he never really spoke about them. His name was Cooper and he was a captain.
