  Again on the move, back again to Maymyo.

  we were all out at 5-30 & had various

  journeys to the hill Barracks to take back 

  tables Forms BedSteads Etc. Which we

  had Borrowed from these to use during

  our stay in the fort. We had dinner at

  12-0-clock & then made our way to the train

  at about 1 o clock & left Mandalay at 1-45. of

  course there was nothing very unusual in the

  journey. Just the ordinary train Journey.

  We arrived at Maymyo about 6-30 &

  as it was very dark. It is easy to

  imagine the commotion there is when a whole

  train load of goods is all dumped down

  in a heap. & every man (160 altogether) are all

  searching for these our things at once But we

  managed it alright & eventually after having

  supper (3°) we at last landed into bed about

  13-30
