For those who want a good look at Indian troops in the two word wars here are a few books, they should all be available on Amazon IAF - Spitfire Singh by Michael Edwardes (about Harjinder Singh, who rose up the ranks from a mechanic in 1930 to an Air Vice Marshal in the 50s, would have risen even higher but for the mischance of krishna menon adopting him as a protege of sorts) The forgotten few - KS Nair. On the early days of the iaf Army - The Indian empire at war - George Morton-Jack on Indian troops in ww1 Ayo Gorkhali by Tim Gurung, a history of the Gorkha regiments Still looking for good stuff on the navy but let me work through these --srs ________________________________ From: Thaths via Silklist <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, February 4, 2022 10:03:07 PM To: Silklist - Intelligent Conversation <[email protected]> Cc: Thaths <[email protected]> Subject: [Silk] Re: Commando comic by Suresh Congratulations, hserus! I am proud of you!! For those of you who, like me, would like to buy a copy, here are links: Amazon US<https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09GXPRHYG/>, UK<https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09GXPRHYG/>, India<https://www.amazon.in/dp/B09GXPRHYG/>. At the moment it only appears to be available on Kindle format. I will wait for the dead tree version. Suresh, you join the likes of Raghu Karnad and Yasmin Khan in bringing Indian involvement in WWII to wider understanding. Some years ago when I livedd Down Under I chanced upon the Muslim section of the Cemetary at Broken Hill. Reading up on who the people buried there were I learned about the Muslim Cameleers<https://www.amazon.com/Australias-Muslim-Cameleers-Pioneers-1860s-1930s/dp/1862548722/> who helped build the Railroad in Australia. Like in Kenya, some of them decided to become shopkeeps and traders. I know you are also interested in Westerns. I can see a potential for a Western set in the Outback starring Cowboys (Camelboys?) and Indians.
