Salvage and Jungle Gardens Aid Chindits War Effort
Maj. Roy Greggs led a salvage of Chin circuit gear at Blackpool jungle airstrip in North Burma. He recovered gliders and Dakota aircraft and, with a guard detail, sent equipment to Calcutta before rebuilding a causeway and reusing machinery for combat. On a distant plateau, Maj. Hill launched a pioneering garden project. By June 17, 1943, eighty six beds produced radishes, lettuce, spinach, and cabbages with greenhouse support, yielding 650 radish bunches and about 260 bushels of marketable potatoes per acre despite pests.
