Spring 1944

Chindits capture Mandalay

Led by the unusual Orde Wingate, the Chindits on a legendary journey, passed through Japanese held lines in the mountains north of dacca, then supplied only by airdrops, trekked through the jungle mountains on the burmese border, crossed the Irawaddy and captured the ancient city of Mandalay, scattering the surprised Japanese garrison.
