jolihokistix (#10594),
Clearly your mother got out OK, as you list "Delhi". But why "Rangoon" after that ? Did she go back to Burma after the end in August 1945 ?
My "bolt from the blue" bit of good luck is described in: "Military Life on the Malabar Coast in WWII" Thread (on Military Aviation). The whole thing is worth a read (IMHO), but the beef in the sandwich starts in Page 2. #25 et seq.
Cheers, Danny.
