A SIGNAL HONOUR

With the Chindits and the Fourteenth Army in Burma. Robin Palmer, then a young officer in the Royal Signals, found himself in the thick of the action. He describes life as one of Wingate's Chindits and the vicious fighting at the crucial battle at Imphal when the Japanese had to be topped at all costs. The future of India hung in the balance. In graphic yet modest terms, the author describes the intense fighting, appalling conditions and inspiring companionship that kept up morale in the face of a previously undefeated enemy.
