'I consider Slim was the finest general World War II produced' (Earl Mountbatten). General Evans fought under Slim as a divisional commander in Burma and has also provided (with Anthony Brett-James) the definitive account of Imphal, Slim's greatest victory against the Japanese. Increasingly elusive in this condition. Enser, p.406; Graham & Cole, L5.
