CHINDIT Special Force - Burma 1944
The book CHINDIT - Special Force Burma 1944 captures the absolute essence of active service during the Burma Campaign. Every veteran of that campaign will immediately identify with the narration of 'Cocky' and Stewart Cochrane, especially in the chapters that describe the jungle warfare action and the fear of danger behind every tree, bush or in the undergrowth. Reading, you still hold that breath that could lead to your position being revealed. The almost silly conversations at times and the laughing at the most feeble of jokes were how it really was and all done in an attempt to detract from the imminent risk that the next moment could be your last. More importantly for our children and their children, here is an answer to "What did you do in the war Granddad?" They will read this book and know that their family played a vital part in the history of war and peace. 'Chindit' is a privilege to read and an even greater privilege to offer this review. Highly Recommended Rev. E.J.C. Loseby (ex-Gnr 28th Field Regt RA) |
