OUR STORY
More information coming soon...
×´THE CONDUCT OF THE ASKARI, MOST OF WHOM HAD NEVER EXPERIENCED ENEMY FIRE BEFORE, DESERVES A LASTING TRIBUTE. THEIR ENERGY AND ENDURANCE [...] ON PATROL THROUGH SOME OF THE WORST COUNTRY IN THE ARAKAN, THEIR CONSISTENCY AND DISCIPLINE UNDER THE STRESS OF PERSISTENT MORTAR & ARTILLERY FIRE, AND THEIR CHEERFULNESS THROUGHOUT THE APPALLING WEATHER CONDITIONS [...] WERE BEYOND PRAISE."
Major Walter Walker, KCB, CBE, DSO & BAR
