Excerpt: Lieutenant General Walter David Alexander Lentaigne, CB, CBE, DSO, (1899-1955) British Indian Army. Sometimes called "Joe" Lentaigne. Walter Lentaigne was an officer in the British Indian Army. He fought in the Third Anglo-Afghan War in 1919. During World War II he commanded a battalion during the 1942 Burma Campaign and was later given command of 63rd Indian Infantry Brigade. In 1943, he was personally selected by General Archibald Wavell (the Commander-in-chief of the British Indian Army) to form and command the 111th Indian Infantry Brigade as a Long Range Pentration Brigade. In 1944, in the midst of the second Chindit operation (Operation Thursday) he was appointed commander of the Chindit Force and led the force until it was disbanded in 1945. He then led the Indian Army's jungle training programs as commander of the 39th Indian Infantry Division. He served in the postwar Indian Army and rose finally to the rank of Lieutenant General. Lentaigne was an outsider in the Chindit organization. He was appointed by General Wavell in the spring of 1943 to raise 111th Indian Brigade as a second Chindit Brigade.

He objected to the appointment after he learned of it but was unable to do anything about. On Wingate's death, Lentaigne took over command of the Chindit organization. He was the seniormost officer in th...More: http: //booksllc.net/?id=93351We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
