Here is another link about the Chindits which was posted in the CVA forum last year. Overall the whole site is good but, in the links section, there are some very good web links to articles by some of those who took part and their experiences which are very worthy of a read.

Pete,
no I'm sorry I don't - it's just an extract that I came across whilst doing some research.
However, the website address leads to the USA Command & General Staff College and from there you can go to Combined Arms Research Library (CARL)
http://www-cgsc.army.mil/carl/
Following your query I poked around on here and came up with this:
http://comarms.ipac.dynixasp.com/ipac20/ipac.jsp?session=12I1B090A1425.172708&menu=search&aspect=subtab327&npp=25&ipp=20&spp=20&profile=carlcgsc&ri=&term=chindits&index=.GW&aspect=subtab327&term=&index=.SK&x=11&y=14#focus
Which gives lists of books etc and again you can explore further and come up with a whole host of lists , reports and extracts...
Hope it helps - have fun!
Nick

A good book to read is The Chindit War by Shelford Bidwell circa 1979

Bidwell...that name rings a bell, he must have been mentioned in Louis Allens Longest War.
I found a copy of Lord Lovats 'March Past' in a second-hand shop the other day, and also a copy of 'Elephant Bill' which I might read next.
I've been reading books over the last few years, Masters, Slim, plus some lesser (?) autobiographies - my biggest regret is not keeping the books when I finished them.
