Thank you, this was the info I was fishing for. Any info as to the Staff, Orbats, TOE? The British Indian Army was the one who drove the Japanese from SE Asia. There's got to be some info as to Indian Army Majors and Colonels who provided the insight and the strategic forethought for that campaign.
