[QUOTE="Bamboo43, post: 43576, member: 417"] Hi Elaine, Your Grandfather may well have been a Chindit, but these things are very difficult to find out for certain. The LF's took part in both Chindit operations in Burma, but it was the 1st battalion in 1944, where the greater number were involved. If memory serves me correctly the 10th battalion also fought in Burma, but not as Chindits. Your best bet, although it can take a long time to come through is to see if you can order his Army Service records from the MOD office in Glasgow. Here is a link address: http://www.army.mod.uk/welfare-support/23212.aspx Best wishes and good luck. Steve [/QUOTE]
