I was an Officer of Territorial Army posted to 107 Infantry Battalion at Lebong, West Bengal.. I was associated with Army Exhibition which was held at Fort William South Eastern Side, it was called Ellenbora Ground (opposite to Race Course). As a NCC Cadet I have done Camp there in the past.
It was in May 1984 this exhibition was held. The Territorial Group HQ was given the responsibility to arrange stalls on Bengal Contribution to India's Independence, Bengal Contribution to Indian Armed Forces. On inquiry we had come to know that Government of West Bengal is having a stall on our freedom movement, they were requested and they participated in this exhibition.
I got a reference book in Encyclopedia of War Heroes of India, published from New Delhi, it was great help to project the theme stall. i went to New Delhi, Ministry of Defence Photo Division to select visuals for our exhibition. It was collected from them
The Staff Officer of TA Group HQ and my self were not happy, so far we could not displayed Netaji Subash Chandra Bose and Indian National Army. The approach was made to Netaji Research Bureau, they supplied the photos and exhibits. Those were suitably displayed. We could collect the audio cassettes on Netaji speech from various broadcasting stations and INA Songs, the Films Divisions films were available to project.
We were happy that we could projected Netaji Subash Chandra Bose and INA in a proper manner.
