Harry Redgen's experience in Burma 1914-1916, item 170

• December 8, 2016 22:49:23 Sue Bryant

  we are now on what is called Company

  training which always lasts about 2 months.

  The Programme changes every day, but the

  Majority of day, we generally have Company

  drill before Breakfast & afterwards we

  have various stages of Sham Fighting

  generally marching for miles & eventually

  arriving back about 1-o-clock & then every

  third night we have night opperations which

  last about 2 hours. Have just heard that we

  again leave Maymyo on Jan 10th to go into

  camp at a place called Ani Sakan, we shall

  be there about 1 month after which we are

  again going to Mandalay, so then our travelling

  will be over once more for at least six

  months but I am hoping that before that is

  over we shall at least see some signs of

  the war coming to a close & visions of

  home once more.
