	THE SEA BATTLE OFF THE CAPES OF VIRGINIA

		But it was an officer from 'A' Squadron, 19th Hussars, the cavalry regiment attached to the 5th Division of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF), and behind this reconnaissance patrol on the far side of the 20-metre (66-ft) wide canal, waited the infantry of one or the 5th Division's brigades, the 14th.
		And all the while more of Von Kluck's battalions were flooding down the roads leading to the battle, widening the front until it overlapped the British line and threatened the flanks.
		Watching the grey ocean lapping across the fields, one British officer asked another to pinch him in case he was dreaming, and his wonder was palpable as along 26 km (16 miles) of dead straight canal the British infantry waited while thousands of men walked with apparent innocence and unconcern towards almost certain death.

	Battle of Imphal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During the Battle of Imphal, the squadron operated from front-line strips supporting the 14th Army during its final conquest of Burma.
		Imphal was crucial to the Japanese plan for the invasion of India in 1944 and so Lieut-General Sir William Slim devoted Lieut-General Sir Geoffrey Scoones 's reinforced IV Corps, including the 5th and 7th Indian Divisions, and extensive air support, to its defence.
		Imphal held out for three months, with air and Chindits attacks disrupting the Japanese lines of supplies and communication, until the British were able to break the siege after their victory at Kohima.
