re: Chindits Chinthe

Thank you for your very kind comment a1Jim. I still can’t believe I actually managed to do it, it took over 4,000 hours (I stopped counting at 4,000) to produce both carvings. The smaller one was recently sold via a sealed bid auction by the Chindits Old Comrades Association which was only open to their members. It is now very proudly owned by a Chindit veteran and will remain in his family for generations, I know the veteran and he has become a very good friend. I am planning to go and visit him in a few weeks time. If you would like to see photos of the bronze version feel free to visit the following link.

This was a set of photos taken on the day it was mounted on the memorial stone.
