My Grandfather was an Australian Commando assigned to a secret British mission operating within China during the war. It is still the longest overland mission ever undertaken by the British Army. It was known as Mission 204 [1], or Tulip Force [2]. They were trained in Burma before entering China to help train the Chinese Nationalist Army in Guerrilla warfare, demolition, and try to encourage a resistance movement. The mission had limited success. Not many Australians, or anyone else, knows that Australian soldiers were under the command of a Chinese general in China during WWII.
