The Indian Contingent

★★★★★

In 1942 places like Aviemore, Ballater, Dalwhinnie, Dornoch, Golspie, Lairg, Loch Ewe, Nairn and Muir of Ord all hosted companies of Force K6 of the Indian Army. Of those men, 13 died while in Scotland and are buried here. Who were they? Why were they here? What happened? Dr Ghee Bowman answers these and many more questions. He tells the story of K6 from its inception to its return to pre-partition India in 1944. Quite apart from the intrinsic historical interest, there is much in this book that is thought provoking.
