Scope and Content

This manuscript seems to be an account of WW2 from August 1940 to October 1945, as the author serves across the world, from the United Kingdom to India. The author appears to be Sgt. Denis Foreman, a staff sergeant at Chindit GHQ. In chapter 3 he provides his impression of Wingate in Burma. The manuscript is prefaced by a note from Peter Mead, where he describes the manuscript as "essential" to understanding Wingate. In his book Orde Wingate and the Historians Tulloch cites the manuscript on page 132.
