Fishes they come to you & want money for it
but still it is well worth it if only to see
the many different kinds of fish.
Sunday May 24 1915
To day I & about 20 others were all taken for
a good day out. In the First place we all fell
in at about 8 o-clock ready to start of. Our
spirits were very much damped at first as the rain
came down very heavy & when they say heavy here
you can guarantee that it is heavy. Well we left
barracks in guaris (cabs) & went for about 4 miles
when we joined the tram way which took us
about another 2 ½ miles untill we came to the
landing stage on the banks of the Irrawadi.
I must not forget to say that this tram ride
was one of the best half hours I have ever
spent one would think we were a lot of
Sunday school children out on the annual
holiday we were so delighted after never seeing
