{Allthough it wasnt untilll my fathers last 18 days on the planet that he spoke of his actual expieriences that had haunted him for 50 years..}

a friend acrooss the road & myself when we were about 6 chopped his bedroom windowsill to pieces with his fathers ww2 mk.2 issue kukri. Most of the men in the road I grew up in had been in Burma or Malaya.

He must have got one hell of a hiding for that.

Its a shame you havent handled a kukri, But I guess if you wanted to you would have. They work well.

So, he fought alongside Ord Wingate? That would be something... They do not make soldiers like that anymore!
My hat is off!
