Charlotte Carty has managed to re-create a trek through the jungle of Northern India, undertaken by her grandfather during World War Two. Lieutenant Colonel William Brown, known as Bruno, led his troops through difficult terrain to help at the Battle of Kohima in 1944. They'd already been fighting the Japanese for several days - but then walked for 39 hours covering 77 miles from the village of Jessami to Kohima. Exactly 80 years to the day and to the hour, Charlotte completed the walk. She's been talking to Steve Harris about how she pushed through.
