re: Chindits Chinthe

Thanks for such a great compliment Mike40. I put it down to having a great interest in the “Forgotten” XIV Army in Burma during WWII. My late father spent his wartime service out there, it was through him I got involved first with the Burma Star Association and then the Chindits Old Comrades Association. He had great respect for the Chindits as they went behind the enemy lines to disrupt their supply routes. He told me they were very instrumental in bringing the siege and battles of Imphal and Kohima to the right conclusion. He was at Imphal and Silchar. Sadly he only got to see the half size maquette, but at least he knew what it would look like.
