Mike Hoare, who fought communism in the former Belgian Congo during the 1960s, was wounded serving in 2nd Recce. The unit originated in Lancashire as 6th Loyals (North Lancashire). The fighting on Pulie Badze mountain, above Kohima, during the heavy rains was physically very demanding, and hundreds of tribal Naga civilians were employed to carry supplies up and casualties down the hill.

Very moving on a Thursday morning. I have not read much SWW fiction but I will be getting this book.
