Harry Redgen's experience in Burma 1914-1916, item 110

• December 6, 2016 16:26:56 Jake Warren

  choaked During the afternoon it was plain

  to see that we were in for a storm so we

  gathered Bamboo’s & tried to make Tents out of

  the Bamboo’s & our Blnakets but by 7-30

  it started & did not forget to start.  It lightened

  & Thundered you would think the Heavens had

  gone MAD. The Tent we had made was of no

  use at all it was drenched through in a few

  minutes but we did not do bad after all as

  Isaac Gill, Tommy Ryan & myself made a run

  for some native Buildings which although we

  were not supposed to enter these places we did

  do & at last found ourselves in a cow shed

  where we slept on some straw untill morning

  we were perfectly dry whilst the other fellows

  were drenched to the skin. This is the first

  time in my experience that I have over heard

  the Revielle cheered or that I have ever

  slept in a cow shed.
