The British in French Indo-China 1945-1946

Some will be familiar this short campaign, with the 20th Indian Infantry Division providing the "muscle", with some RAF support, has been an interest of mine. So I have created this new thread.

Alas the Search facility failed again, so I will copy the relevant posts in this thread to here:

All this was prompted by discovering a short, eighteen page article by Daniel Marston: 'The 20th Indian Division in French Indo-China, 1945-1946: Combined Operations and the 'fog of war'. Note the irony the paper was given to a Japanese military audience.

So after the copying of posts this article will drop down.

I recently returned to this time and topic, partly as the pandemic lock down gave me time and an article has been published in 'Durbar', the printed journal of the Indian Military History Society:http://durbaronline.co.uk/

Attached is a copy, it is slightly longer than the published article and has more footnotes.
