SIR: Fifty years ago this summer, independence came to the subcontinent of India. To mark the occasion I am planning a reunion and patiently tracking down former soldiers who served in British units of Indian Airborne.
If any of your readers were parachute or glider troops in India we would urge them to get in touch. We may well be able to reunite them with old comrades-in-arms.
