I know little about the one war veteran in my family, my grandfather was part of the 75th Indian, he was in the Chindit Operations in 1943. He never talked much of his life in Burma to me or to my father. I'm trying my hardest to find more about him as he has five medals, which even those I do not know what they all are except one I know is the Burma Star.

His name was Fred Carter and I've always been looking for information because I'm proud of such a history. He was even 'injured' when apparently biten by a bug and catching some disease which forced him in hospital for 6 weeks.

I will try and find some photos of him, but I'm not promising anything.
