Chindit 2 General maps, including Strongholds and Landing Grounds.

Some great additions to this thread over the last 24 hours. It has grown into a worthy resource, thanks to Matt and HC.

 

Plenty more to come, me ol' Bamboo...

 

Give me about a year to photograph more goodies from the US Nat'l Archives. WWII was fought in less time than it takes me to accomplish my goals...

 

Haha! Keep plodding on Matt!

 

Hi Matt,

Yes, but your contributions are always worth the wait.

 

... Especially if some imagery of Blackpool turns up...

A couple of items from CAB44-184 next...
The first one is a "sketch" detailing White City...
The second details Aberdeen...

 

Some larger scale maps...
CAB44-184 Map C, in four parts...
This map is mostly of interest to 16 Brigade researchers...

 

HC,

That White City map is the icing on the cake! And the Aberdeen map is a great companion to Steve's posted Aberdeen sketchmap. Sure wish I could have found Aberdeen imagery, though.

 

The next part is Map D, again covering 16 Brigade movements during March 1944...

 

Now this one is of interest to most people here... Map F shows the dispersal of "Thursday's" forces after landing behind the lines... 77, 111, Morris, Bladet and 16, through until the beginning of April... lots of pics for this one... six on this, six on the next...

 

... And the next six...

 

Wow ! You lot have been busy since I went away...can't keep up with all the fantastic info put up here! Thanks for all your hard work.

 

Made two mosaics. Quality is that of your attachments.

 

Nicely done... my originals are circa 3mb each if anyone needs a specific part...

Nijmegen... did you stitch those with Photoshop...?

 

On to Barton's Narrative CAB44-185...
Sketch 9 is of Mogaung... drawing is initialled the same as the map in Calvert's book (EGM) ...
Sketch 10 is a more detailed map of central Mogaung... again initialled EGM...
Sketch 4 is of Myitkyina...

 

Autopano... not heard of that one before... research to be done... ta...

CAB44-185
Map G, covering Brigade movements from 1st April to 15th May 1944, for 111, 77, 16, 14, and 3 (WA) ...

 

And, Autopano!

Even fingers disappear...

 

Another nice photo-merge by Nijmegen...

CAB44-185...
Map H, detailing movements as above, adding Morris, Dah, CAI, NKL 4BR, and 36 Div., May to September 1944 ...

This completes the 1944 maps in Barton's Narrative...

 

Thanks again for all the hard work HC. I only started this thread as a way of providing Matt with some basic info on these strongholds. Now it has grown in to quite a TV Times thread. "I never knew there was so much in it!"
