INA (Azad Hind Fauj) contribution
What units or personnel of the Indian National Army took part in the battle ? What influence did they have on the planning or execution of the Japanese plans ? Unless the INA had some significant effect on the conduct or outcome of the battle, they do not rate mention in the information box. HLGallon 22:26, 11 August 2007 (UTC)


 * The INA contribution in this article reads like a success. How can these troops have a success and end up near Chittagong ?   The allies won the battle, so the only way those troops would be near Chittagong at the end of the battle would be as prisoners !  I am reading Slims 'Defeat Into Victory' at present, and will try to correct the article if there is further info on the INA fate from that source.--203.218.167.136 (talk) 00:55, 22 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Added their presence at the attack on the MDS based on Holland's Burma '44 ... if you can call a probable warcrime a contribution. 51.9.120.36 (talk) 21:40, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

Casualties
I dispute the casualty listings. The Japanese lost significantly more than the British in this battle. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.12.237.210 (talk) 10:38, 26 September 2008 (UTC)


 * They were taken from Allen, Burma: the Longest War. I will add cites to the article. HLGallon (talk) 15:14, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

In The Jungle, the Japanese and the British Commonwealth Armies at War, 1941-45 by Moreman T. R., the figure for Commonwealth losses is merely 3,506 (page 122)Soz101 (talk) 16:09, 28 January 2011 (UTC) —Preceding undated comment added 16:05, 28 January 2011 (UTC).
 * If you think that's a more reliable cite, by all means put it in, with the reference. HLGallon (talk) 20:11, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

I do not regard Moreman as a necessarily more reliable source than Allen and I DO NOT DISPUTE Allen's figure since Allen's and Moreman's figures are not in contradiction. According to Moreman the figure 7,951 - which appeares in the article - is the overall losses sustained by Commonwealth troops throughout the second Arakan campaign which ended on the 15th of June ( page 144 ). The 3,506 figure represents the losses sustained up to the point that the Japanese counter-attack was defeated, that is the 24th of February. 3,056 is thus the figure comparable to that of Japanese losses indicated in the article. The figure of Japanese losses appearing in the article does represent those sustained until the 24th of February. Overall Japanese losses until 15th of June were much greater than 5,335. Their troubles were just beginning on the 24th of February. Soz101 (talk) 23:15, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Location
The co-ordinates given, 20.932080°N 92.449349°E look right, but the map is suggesting this was a sea battle. Can anyone see how to fix?Nickpheas (talk) 10:15, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
