WWII double-sided silk Chindit Panic map 'North Burma' and 'Central Burma', with notation in ink, 983331 Sgt. Murphy, Wingates Army, 1944, size of scarf 59cm x 72cm, This orange escape map was unique to the Chindits, the purpose of which is explained in Richard Rhodes James's book Chindit; Above there came the sound of planes and a Dakota appeared over the jungle followed by several others. These planes had been sent to drop more supplies on the block. Base had no knowledge of the events of the last twenty-four hours, having been out of communication, and could only assume that, though our position was grave, it was not helpless. As a matter of fact when we moved off so hurriedly a message was on its way from the General giving us permission to withdraw. We produced our 'panic maps' (silk emergency maps of bright orange colour) and started waving them. The first few lanes did not see us and we watched the parachutes floating into the hands of the Japs. But one sharp-eyed pilot noticed the streaks of orange in the nullah and emptied his load beside us. Rippingale has further added a note Cloth Map issued to the Chindits - 1944. (Also used, tied round the neck as a sweat-rag. Robert George Murphy joined the forces in March of 1940. He went on to serve all over the world most frequently posted to South Africa and admitted to hospital on several occasions. He constantly volunteered for dangerous situations, hence his time in Burma. He died at the age of 66 in Townsville Australia.
