    Just looking into the car crash otherwise known as SPLENDOUR.
    Does anyone have the WDs for 1/1 and 1/2 Punjab, 3/7 Rajput and 3/14 Punjab for July 1942? Most importantly 20-25 July, and appendices if any reports on the fighting.

    Many thanks in advance!

    All the best

    I do not, but have you seen?

    CAB 106/660 Account of the assault on Point 63 by 5th Indian Infantry Division 1942
    WO 169/7680 161 Indian Infantry Brigade HQ Jan-Dec 1942

    I may have already passed these to you.

    Hi Charley

    161 Bde I do have, thanks a lot!

    Don't have the CAB file, and it would be very interesting.

    All the best
