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

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.

I'm sorry to hear your dad has passed.....God bless him.

What a small world indeed!----that's exactly (as far as I know) what dad did.....in one of his wartime letters, he mentioned being a guard on the supply trains...

..and he had a funny story about a monkey stealing things on the train.

Thanks for this wonderful information.....they might very well have known each other.

Dad also spent some time in the mountain hospital after eating a macaroon cookie from a street vender (they were told not to)...and getting a horrible case of dysentery.

To this day, he will not touch a macaroon cookie.
