pagoda hill
Hi.
Any members got any info on the battle of pagoda hill,Calvert,south Staffs.Am interested in Chindits in general,and this battle in particular.Have read most of accounts on net,and am trying to build picture of events.For example have never read an account that,actually says how long battle lasted.Have read Calverts'books.
Any info ? Would be appreciated.
Regards Mikky
I know this is an old post Mikky ..... and I really can't answer your questions but there were many Scousers in the Chindits ... and I thought you may be interested in the story of one who made the pilgrimage back a few years ago !!Originally Posted by mikky
