Sikh troops fighting in the Battle of Admin Box.
The Battle of Admin Box, so named as it was in a rectangular shaped area of the Indian Army's 7th Division administrative area, began, with the British Indian Army defending its position against a Japanese offensive in Burma which was calculated to draw off British troops from a larger Japanese offensive.
The Chindit 16th Long Range Penetration Brigade left Ledo and marched south toward the "Aberdeen" area in Burma.
The Red Army took Lutsk and Rovno in the Ukrainian sector.
The Germans withdrew to a smaller perimeter within the Korsun Pocket, which the Germans were able to resupply by air.
