Got the “200” number out of John Ross’ “Unintended Consequences”.

It referred to the number actually actively working against the Brits, not just members.

THANKS for the info on the source for the “200”.

As you have doubtless guessed, I’ve done some considerable amount of reading about USFIP actions in the Philippines & against the Japanese Forces in 1942-45.

According to the diary of a senior Japanese Naval Aviator, one of “the most humiliating psycological defeats of our forces” was that one of Fertig’s guerrilla fighters succeeded in stealing “- - - the very valuable & treasured personal polo pony of a Japanese General Officer & spiriting the horse away, ‘under the very noses of’ the General’s staff.”

Yours, TMN78247
