  large sheds attached to the Docks

  here we were welcomed to Burma by

  some of the Big men of Rangoon & each

  man was presented with 1 cigar 1 box of

  matches & a Rose. I think the best of all

  the journey was when they brought in the

  bowls full of Roses they were the finest

  I think I have ever seen & The smell was

  lovly. Then we went back on the Boat &

  for Dinner we had Dry Bread & Tea & for

  Tea we had Bread & Gravy. That might we

  again slept on the floor.

  Dec 11th 1914

  left Rangoon 8 – o by train for Maymyo

  we had all our meals in the train & they

  were the best & best arranged since we

  left Southampton we had Breakfast on

  the boat, but Dinner in the train & for all

  It is difficult to get ready in a train we

  had a first class Feed.
