And for the Chindits:

There's a lot of info available on the net and a good place to start is:

http://www.burmastar.org.uk/
http://www.chindits.info/

As for service records, make sure to ask for photocopies of the originals - otherwise you get a typed summary which isn't always very useful.

Thank you now I know what to put on my Christmas list

Oh I am glad you said to ask for photo copies of originals, I never knew they would send typed version
