I have 2 reasons for leaving a message; firstly, my father, Harold Pettinger, served in Burma with the 2nd York & Lancaster. Luckily for me and my brothers and sister, he was injured during jungle training just before deployment and had to transfer to REME, helping to keep the troops in the jungle supplied. He's still going strong at 87 and is only now telling us all what he did in the war.
Secondly, as part of my research I have come across an old copy of typed memoires of another Chindit that haven't been published. These make fantastic reading. Unfortunately, I can't find any reference to this soldier and I'd like to find out more about him if I can, if only to send a copy of his story to any surviving family, if they haven't already got one.
He is Major R. P. J. (Paddy) DOBNEY.
Any information would be gratefully received.
I'd be happy to send a copy for publication on this site but I feel I could only do that with the permission of any surviving family, or Paddy himself if still alive. Hope to here from anyone out there who may know more.

I beleive my father was in the Chindits.but have no records. I know he was in India and Burma and suffered from malaria for years. His name was John(Jack) Hill from Shropshire. He was moved from the navy into the army and Mom didn't see him for 5 years. My uncle said he was behind enemy lines, but he never spoke of his army days. Anyone who remembers the name please get in touch.

My Great Grandfather was in the 2nd Battalion Leicester Regiment and was awarded a Distinguished Conduct Medal for his actions in March/April 1944. I would be grateful if anyone could help me with any information they may have on his battalion.

My father Capt Anson ‘lofty’ Howard RA MC was involved in both Chindit operations and though he was reluctant to talk about his horrific experiences in the Burma jungle in any detail he praised the bravery and resilience of his men, especially the Sikh soldiers. I know he was attached to an Indian Army regiment and was trained in India and that he and his men were sent behind enemy lines in columns with dismantled field guns strapped onto mules.
I would be grateful for any information about him and his role and/or any leads as to how I might be able to research more effectively.

I am looking for information on Archibald William John Lunn who I recently found out was in the Chindits. He lived in Leicester although he came from Bermondsey/Rotherhithe London (1923). He also was known as William and sometimes Robert. I have very little to go on so if anyone knows anything that might help I would be very grateful.
