    I am trying to find the exact date that the 4/7th Rajput Regiment flew from Dohazari to Dimapur. I am hoping that someone may have a source at hand that can provide this date. The regimental history only mentions that it was during the last week of March 1944 that the Rajputs flew from the Arakan to Imphal.

    I have the flight dates for the other two battalions of the brigade:

    4th Royal West Kent Regiment - 26 March 1944 - First to arrive
    1/1st Punjab Regiment - 29 March 1944

    I would assume that the 4/7th Rajput Regiment was somewhere between these two dates since it was there on March 30th, when it was sent to the Jessami track for the withdrawal of troop fighting under the 1st Assam Rifles.

    Thanks for any help.
