19:30 to 21:00
Slim’s 14th Army may have been called the ‘Forgotten Army’, but their exploits have become the stuff of legend. The Chindits are right up there in this catalogue of extraordinary achievements. Their troops, against a cruel enemy and in the most atrocious of conditions thousands of miles from home, were soldiers of astonishing courage, cheek, panache and considerable sacrifice.
