I happened to know personally the officer in charge of evacuation, so I was able to secure tickets on one of the last cargo boats to leave Rangoon for Calcutta.
Olin juhuslikult ühe evakueerimist korraldava ohvitseriga isiklikult tuttav ja nii avanes mul võimalus panna kinni piletid ühele viimastest kaubalaevadest, mis läksid Ranguunist Calcuttasse.
