Well, there you go, Danny, a story for a book perhaps?
To answer all your questions about my mother in Burma I would have to read her book again, between the lines, as it is a more personal account and hard to grasp her movements. She mentions Mandalay, Maymyo, Landaur, Missourie, Mingaladon, Delhi and Rangoon. The book is long out of print, but it was a pretty good read.
Oh, and she did throw herself into ditches, mentioning that the risk of a krait bite was the safer option.
