Overview:

On March 6th, Chindits under the command of Major Calvert moved into Nankan Station in order to demolish the rail station located there. Nankan Station was situated in an area of nearly open ground surrounded by jungle. It was not ideal terrain for the Chindits, but the rail line had to be cut. Alerted to the presence of the Chindits were Japanese belonging to the 55th Infantry Division. Mounting in trucks and with a single light tank, they moved down the jungle track towards Nankan Station. The Chindits went about their business and prepared to receive the Japanese attack.
