APRIL 25th 1942 - My Birthday

Old Dehli
New Dehli
Left Lahore 25th April.  Got posted to Visagapatam on my birthday.

The journey was about 2,000 miles, the first stop being Dehli!  Which we had two days there.

the next stop was BAZWADA.  Also was there for one day.  We all went swimming but did not know that crocodiles had been there. 

A swim at Bazwada




 On the fifth day we arrived at Visagapatam. What a place, we felt like crying!

We had to buy our food, what food we had was awful.

The camp consisted of just a few tents.

We worked very hard.
