    WWII CBI - many reference links

    There was a time when a web search would turn up precious little about the FBI* (as Dad and the other vets of the CBI called it). But that has been changed now, much of it through the efforts of one man in tribute to his father who served there. (as did mine). He has rounded up and attached many links to this page, written and received related articles on the subject directly too. Here's the link to it... CHINA-BURMA-INDIA - Remembering the Forgotten Theater of World War II His blog page- more good stuff... CBI Theater

    If you are at all interested in the CBI, these links provide a gold mine of information.

    * FBI= Forgotten Bas---ds of India

    The old CBI 'theater' (of operations) weekly paper the C.B.I. Round Up is available on-line. Go to their homepage here- CBI Roundup - China-Burma-India Theater of World War II You can just click on any issue desired from the list on the left of the homepage. They have other articles of related interest as well. Read the news about the war as it was printed then. It'll be biased, oh yes. But at least it won't be clouded by the pollution of liberalism!

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    Thank you, I have read about the "Forgotten Army" as the members of the 14th army called themselces.
    So I can't spell, so what!!!

    Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone you meet.

    Back before the "new" CBI Roundup ("Ex-CBI Roundup") went on-line, I had the fortune to inform a veteran of the conflict of it's existance, and he ended up writing a couple of articles for them.
