    Captain Black was killed on the night of 18/19 Feb 1943 when leading a team of "specialist night patrollers" to the east of Grandstand Hill. Captain Black was "reported killed by the only unhit member of his patrol".

    I recently have made contact with the RUR museum in Belfast over the six men from Chindit 1 with RUR service numbers.

    Here is one such man, Douglas Purchase, please scroll down to the heading Landslide.
