I have found reference to a Pte 5260423 W Horne in the 7th Leicestershire Regiment (The Chindits). My father told my brother that he was in communications in India/Burma during the war but would never speak of what he did. I would like to confirm whether or not this is my father. He was born 16.12.13 and came from the East End of London. According to my mother he was originally conscripted into the Royal Fusiliers. Can anyone help?
What a fantastic website!!

I recently found a photograph of my father H.L.North. It also contained 3 other soldiers. There were signatures on the back. They were E Crisp from Belgrave, Pte.s.Wright from Loughborough and T. Draycott from sileby. Can Any one tell me information about these people and if any of them are still alive. Also if they have any stories about my Dad. Thanks Sharon

Hi. Just found your site after some research about my father, Tom Gamble 4802735 ( no. 151 on the Column 2 list ) It is a superbly put together site and you should be thanked for your efforts. So many things like the pay book and the fact that he never sent for his medals until I - as a serving soldier - prompted him, are so alike. It brings back many memories of my father who sadly died in 1994. Well done.
If anyone has any info about my father I would be very grateful to hear from you.
Good luck to all.

I am not much of a war story enthusiast but you got me going from page to page. Very striking site - makes me almost want to salute. It is humbling to read the sacrifices of others when here, I go about whining and complaining about every little thing as if every little thing was important!:rolleyes:
It's beautifully told - your Dad's story with the Chindits and the integrity of the story is so well-documented too.
A lasting tribute to a father and a soldier, indeed.

Ian, a fantastic site of which your father would be justly proud.
You very kindly added my Uncle, Pte 4863973 Dennis SUTTON of D Company to your site after our communication last year. The site is just getting better, going from strength to strength.
I am currently researching the Chindits, and the 7th Leicesters in particular for a project. If anyone knew my Uncle, or could expand more on their experiences with 7th Leicesters I would be very appreciative. My Uncle was a very quiet and reserved man and never spoke of his experiences. He passed away in April of 2004 sadly.
Well done Ian. A true and fitting testament to the quiet heroes.
