My name is Eric Evans.(Echo). I served in the 99th Field Reg. and am a vet of the 'Tennis Court Battle' during the Battle of Kohima. I was the unwilling recipiant of a bullet and shrapnall during the battle, also host to the malaria bug. My 6 weeks in a hole facing the Japs across the tennis court are still very clear in my mind, and I''m looking to find ANYONE who was there. There are not many of us left to share the stories.
Eric has been contacted to add more to his story.
