Good eaving chaps, I was just wondering if you could help me put together a Chindit kit list as i am trying to put together a Chindit impretion as my great uncle was a chindit also did They use captured equipment ? Many thanks
Hi, We once discussed the contents of a Chindit back pack. This old thread might help you in this regard: The Chindits' Damned Pack... just how heavy was it really...?
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.
bamboo43, thanks for the infomation about the Japanese . His Name was Ernie Littlechild Unfortunately I don't know anything about him at the moment but my dad says he will contact some family members etc...
