All thinkings things , all objects of all thoughts,
And roll through all things "
William Wordsworth Tintern Abbey
The Chindits were an Allied Special Force formed and lead by General Orde Wingate. They fought deep behind enemy lines in World War II (1943-44) in Northern Burma against the Japanese. They were successful in their operation in recapturing Burma from the Japanese. Chindits is a corruption of the Burmese word Chinthe, the Burmese word for the mythical lion guardians of Burmese pagodas.
