A fantastic site.
The War Diary is particularly interesting.
A relative of mine was with 40 Column, 3/4th Gurkha Rifles and it is great to see the veterans of this Campaign remembered in such a way.
Ayo Gurkhali!

I am so glad that you find this web-site.
My father, Harold Lambert, always spoke highly of your grandfather, (Major Yeatman-Biggs), saying that he put the safety and well being of his men first. He, like all those in the Column, was deeply moved by his death, in the same ambush that my father was wounded in.
Kind regards to you and your father.

I've just started researching the Chindits, and found your site by chance. I have never yet researched any aspect of the Second World War and failed to be moved and inspired by the courage and sacrifice of your generation. When your backs were to the wall, or when you were asked to do the seemingly impossible, you dug into your store of grit and simply got on with the job. I wonder how many of my generation (mid-forties) and below could find that kind of strength? We owe you a tremendous debt. We always will.

I have just found your site relating to 7th Bn Leicestershire Regt., which I found fascinating. My uncle, now deceased, 5260299 Pte Charles (Chuck) Taylor served as a muleteer , carrying vickers MMG in 47 Column. he was at the incident when the major was killed. I have the original note from when he became a casualty. He was called up to 8th Bn Worcesters in 1941/42, not certain when he transferred. He did not return to UK until 1946.
I am secretary of an OCA, & we have our "senior" member who is 92, who was commisioned from Warwicks Yeomanry into 4th Bn Border Regt, where he was Animal transport Officer, having been a farmer. Very Best regards Ron Hartill.

What an amazing site, about a part of WWII often, still overlooked. I congratulate you on your hard work.

I am a second generation officer in this elite force.Though much removed from the pioneers (especially by the way of blood)the fire within, burns bright and it spurs a desire to know more about my martial fore fathers (My love for the jungles could be genetic!)and creates a bond of awe inspired reverence to the CHINDITs.

I live in the same village as Norman Coates, an ex Chindit. He was a signaller, using the 22 set, and I would be delighted if anyone could contact me if you knew him.
