Ursula Graham Bower, a Roedean graduate, was invited to visit Nagaland in 1937 by a friend and was struck by the dignity and tribal culture of the Naga people. She stayed on and started work on an anthropological study. In 1944, WWII, Japanese armies invaded the jungles of Nagaland from Burma. Bower, who had been trained to shoot as a child by her father, marshalled and trained the Zeme Nagas as scouts who searched the jungles for Japanese troops. Bower was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire in April 1945 for her actions in Burma and was the subject of an American comic book titled Jungle Queen.
