[QUOTE="Bamboo43, post: 43714, member: 417"] Hi, If you ever have the chance to visit the National Archives in London, you can find the War diary of the 1 South Staffs under Reference WO172/4920. These diaries rarely mention lower ranked soldiers, but it might give you an idea of what was going on. It sounds as though he might have been flown out from Burma, wounded or perhaps suffering from one of the diseases prevalent in Burma at the time. Books on 77th Indian Brigade are 'Prisoners of Hope' by Mike Calvert and 'March or Die, by Phil Chinnery for a good overview of the Chindits in 1944. Hope this helps. Steve [/QUOTE]
