Summary

Among the more improbable events of the Asia-Pacific Theater in World War II was the creation in Singapore in 1943 of a corps of female Indian combat soldiers, the Rani of Jhansi Regiment. Until now the history of these brave women soldiers is little known, their extraordinary service largely unexplored.
