Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook was provided for the benefit of British and Allied soldiers in the Second World War. Two copies have been in the Chaloner family since they returned to England from India in 1947. One of the handbooks has been sent to the Imperial War Museum, and will provide source material for future researchers. The book has degraded over the years and so it has been reproduced to preserve the contents and serve as a memento for future generations of the family.Lt Colonel George Thomas Chaloner served with the British Indian Army in the Second World War and was stationed in India during the turbulent period when the country transitioned to independence in 1947. He provided all the drawings and colour illustrations as well as most of the text. This was probably prepared while he was carrying out jungle reconnaissance as part of his work, training soldiers in jungle warfare and survival; in readiness for the feared invasion of India by the Japanese through the jungles of Eastern Asia.
