Alexander orders retreat in Burma
Saturday, April 25, 1942 www.onwar.com

In Burma... The Chinese 5th Army recaptures Taunggyi from the Japanese, however the Japanese continue to move toward Lashio, the terminus point of the Burma Road. In the west, General Alexander orders a retreat from Meiktila north of the Irrawaddy Valley.

In Britain... A continuation of the “Baedeker Raids” as the Germans bomb Bath.
