Korean War Memorial

The Chindit Memorial in London commemorates the Chindits, the largest Allied special forces group during World War II, formed and led by Major General Orde Wingate. These troops, trained in guerrilla warfare, conducted long-range penetration operations behind enemy lines in Northern Burma in 1943 and 1944, relying on air drops for supplies and wireless communication.

The memorial honors the bravery and sacrifices of those who served in the Chindit campaigns, where they executed missions to disrupt Japanese supply lines and communication routes. The Chindits are notable for their unconventional tactics and significant contributions to the war effort, highlighted by their two major expeditions that showcased their resilience and strategic capabilities in challenging terrains.
