Japs Hit By Wingate Jungle Army in Burma
British and native troops under Brig. Charles Wingate completed a three month jungle campaign in northern Burma. They destroyed 109 miles of rail, several bridges, and blocked a Jap move near the Chindwin barrier while supplying and delaying enemy operations. The force, arriving from the Irrawaddy region, learned to live on bamboo shoots and mule meat as planes and radio communications supported their actions.
