hi im looking it to this and the role the 28th Jungle reg played in the defence where would I find information as the war diaries don't hold much

 

Hello Jessicah, looking at your other enquiry on this forum about 28 Jungle Fld Regt, I note that your grandfather was in 5 Battery. They were not involved with the action at Lion Box Kanglatongbi. It was 3 Bty that provided the mortar support for the box. 28 Jungle Fld Regt were, however, involved with the fighting along the main Imphal Kohima road afterwards. You can read all about Lion Box in my book 'Box of Lions' available now from Pen & Sword publishers.
