Curtis commanded 13
Indian Brigade in the first Burma
campaign. Slim recounts
that Curtis was slightly wounded in a Japanese
strafing attack that killed the driver of Curtis' car, but Curtis was
completely unshaken. This was one of the most impressive displays of
nerve Slim ever witnessed. Curtis went on to command 14
Indian Division, which by then had become a training division for replacement troops for 14 Army.
