Book excerpt: The 6/7th Rajputs were raised at Trichinopoly in 1941 as a direct need for wartime expansion of the Indian Army. This memoir of the 6/7th's North-West Frontier days in 1942 to its fight south through Burma against the Japanese is a unique insight into the Rajputs' fighting qualities and attitude to life. As the first wartime raised battalion in the Regiment it had the good fortune to attract well trained Senior VCOs, NCOs and Officers from the regular Rajput battalions, who all contributed to its development. It joined in activities on the North-West Frontier serving at Quetta, Peshawar, Darndil, Rasmak and on the Kojak Pass. Jungle training followed before joining 17 Indian Division at Ranchi then departing for Imphal and the final campaign in Burma, including the pivotal battle of Meiktila and then to Rangoon and beyond. The vital task was to ensure the successful containment of the 33rd Japanese Army in Southern Burma. Indicative of the Battalion's achievement and demonstrating the high esteem in which it was held, was a remarkable letter received from the Chief of Staff of the Japanese Army upon leaving Burma. There can be few equivalent plaudits in the annals of warfare. On his return to the UK in 1945 the author had the honour of presenting a Japanese sword to FM Montgomery on behalf of all Officers, VCOs and men of the 6th Battalion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 9th Jats were an Indian Army regiment first raised by the East India Company in 1803 as the 22nd Bengal Regiment of Native Infantry. The unit was immediately plunged into the Mahratta wars, before embarking on the first Afghan War, the Sikh Wars and the Burma wars. During the Indian Mutiny, the regiment remained relatively inactive, although their British officers took part in the mutiny s suppression. Between the mutiny and the Great War the unit was involved in fresh fighting in Burma, Assam, Somaliland and the Boxer Rising in China. The regiment went to France on the outbreak of war in 1914, but their sojourn in the trenches was brief, and they were soon in Egypt training for the war in Mesopotamia (Iraq). After the war, the regiment took part in the third Afghan war and the tribal fighting in Waziristan. This is a full and account of a distinguished Indian regiment, and is accompanied by appendices listing the regiment s honours, awards and colours, and by four illustrated plates and six maps.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An elite regiment from the CaribbeanThis is an excellent regiment history of a British colonial force raised in the West Indies among the coloured population whose ancestors had in former times been brought against their will to the islands as slaves. Essential for all those interested in the British Army and its colonial forces. It saw service away from its familiar shores including the War of 1812 during the Napoleonic period and on the African continent in action against the Ashanti.This fascinating book reveals the exploits of an unusual regiment undertaking exemplary service in unusual theatres of operation. Lucia, Dominica, Barbados and many others islands. Vincent, St. Its service continued through many actions in the Indies themselves including service on Martinique, St. The regiments has a long career dating to the middle of the eighteenth century and the War of American Independence. However, the fact remains this regiment has been highly regarded and received the warmest praise from every commander who served with them-including the legendary Sir John Moore of Peninsular War fame, who believed them to be invaluable. This would be an understandable reason why such troops would not necessarily be of the highest order. Available in soft cover or hard cover with dust jacket for collectors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'An incredible and important story, finally being told' - Mishal Husain On 28 May 1940, Major Akbar Khan marched at the head of 299 soldiers along a beach in northern France. They were the only Indians in the British Expeditionary Force at Dunkirk. With Stuka sirens wailing, shells falling in the water and Tommies lining up to be evacuated, these soldiers of the British Indian Army, carrying their disabled imam, found their way to the East Mole and embarked for England in the dead of night. On reaching Dover, they borrowed brass trays and started playing Punjabi folk music, upon which even 'many British spectators joined in the dance'. What journey had brought these men to Europe? What became of them – and of comrades captured by the Germans? With the engaging style of a true storyteller, Ghee Bowman reveals in full, for the first time, the astonishing story of the Indian Contingent, from their arrival in France on 26 December 1939 to their return to an India on the verge of partition. It is one of the war's hidden stories that casts fresh light on Britain and its empire.
