    No problem 5th Buffs. I'm not sure if Chindits used too much of the equipment taken from the Japanese. The other way around was a different matter; the Japanese were always looking to supplement their meagre rations and weaponry by acquiring from their enemy.

    Do you know much about your great uncle and where he served in Burma, Regiment, that sort of thing.
