saddler Posted May 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 Hope part 2 is as good. The man whose father was the Chindit officer was the subject of a recent movie "Touching the Void" - based on a climbing accident he suffered a few years ago & his crawl to safety after being left for dead.

The Mighty Prawn Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 My Grandfather in law was a chindit and it was quite affecting for my wife as she didn't really know much about the close up and personal nature of the theatre in Burma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
