Canada's contribution in India

The aircrew were training to drop supplies, and/or troops, mostly Gurkhas and the, Akyab was the, sorry, Gujarat, was the base, and they did their training up at Rawalpindi up in the foothills of the Himalayas, both dropping troops and para supplies so that, and that took from, well we got there maybe sometime in October until January before we went to Burma.
When most people hear about Canadians being in Burma they think we were involved in the hump, flying the hump. That wasn't so, that was mostly Americans, flying from staging spots in upper northern Burma such as Ledo, into Kunming in China. They were helping the Chinese, not, nothing to do with the, with the war in Burma. 436 Squadron was one of fourteen squadrons that helped supply the 14th Army, it's just a coincidence that that's, the word fourteen is, is there. Of the fourteen, two were Canadians, four were British, and the rest were American. And they supplied the 14th Army entirely by air. I saw ammunition, barbwire, hay, rations, tobacco, beer, whatever, always dropped or landed at forward strips, but all taken in by these fourteen squadrons. So if Canada had two of fourteen, that's a significant contribution and nobody happens to know that.
