Iwas stationed at one time just south of the Shwedagon Pagoda with the Royal Signals on Prome Rd.area in 1947 and the pagoda was mostly still closed up and in dire need of repairs, and I also stayed in Maymyo rest camp before being attached to the Signals Office there.

thank you for a magical trip to burma, where Iwas fortunate to be sent in 1946 with RA.F Istayed in maymyo in a rest area, recovering from tropical ulcer. The magic is now revived! ron reece

maybe the most glorious sight of a temple in Asia. I hope you will take a look at my owm shots from this incredibly magical place, and so is Burma too, magical country under tyranny.
