Mike Calvert

Brigadier Mike Calvert, third from left, with [[Orde Wingate]] (centre) and other [[Chindits]] at the "Broadway" airfield in Burma awaiting a night supply drop, 1944. Brigadier James Michael Calvert, (6 March 1913 – 26 November 1998) was a British Army officer who was involved in special operations in Burma during the Second World War. He participated in both Chindit operations and was instrumental in popularizing the unorthodox ideas of Orde Wingate. He frequently led attacks from the front, a practice that earned him the nickname amongst the men under his command of "Mad Mike." Provided by Wikipedia
