It's entirely possible....dad was there for 3 years....in Calcutta & Bombay mostly.....and spent some time on supply trains....

He has very fair skin and the Indian sun took its toll on him..

....since the War.he has had countless bouts of skin cancer.

...even now in the nursing home, the latest bout is probably a melanoma but they can't help him now....because of his dementia.

God bless your dad for his service!....and Merry Christmas to you.

I’d say they knew each other. My Dad was in Service and Supply and they shipped almost everything from Bombay via rail. Then over “The Hump” into China via air. And there was the Burma and Lido Road.

Dad was a Capt. then.
