AUTHOR: Ursula Violet Graham BowerMBE 1914-1988), was one of the pioneeranthropologistsin theNaga Hillsbetween 1937 and 1946 and aguerrillafighter against the Japanese in Burma from 1942 to 1945. Daughter of Commander John Graham Bower,RN(1886-1940). On her fathers remarriage in 1932, Bower became the stepdaughter of childrens writerBarbara Euphan Todd, the creator of the fictionalscarecrowWorzel Gummidge. She first visitedIndiaand, more specifically, the Naga Hills and Manipur, in 1937, at the invitation of Alexa Macdonald, whom she had met while on holiday on Skye. She fell in love with the Naga Hills and their tribes. She returned alone to India in 1939 and spent some years as ananthropologistamong theNagasof theNaga Hills. At the start ofWorld War IIshe was in London, but planning to return to the Naga Hills. When the opportunity arose, she gained permission from the British administration to live among the Naga people in Laisong village, in what was then known as North Cachar. Here she won the friendship and confidence of the local village headmen, so that when the Japanese armiesinvaded Burmain 1942 and threatened to move on into India, the British administration asked her to form her local Nagas into a band of scouts to comb the jungle for the Japanese. Bower mobilised the Nagas against the Japanese forces across some 800 square miles of mountainous jungle. General Slim supported her with arms and reinforcements, giving her own unit withinV Force, nicknamed "Bower Force". Bowers force of Nagas became so effective that the Japanese put a price on her head. She was the subject of an American comic book entitledJungle Queen. By her orders she established a watch-and-warn system providing safe passage for evacuees, deserters, escaped prisoners and bailed-out airmen fleeing from Burma to India. In 1945 she was appointedMember of the Order of the British Empirefor her actions in Burma.
