Wavell: the Viceroy's Journal (1973) by Archibald Percival Wavell (ed. Penderel Moon) Reviewed by Jack Loveridge Archibald Percival Wavell served as the penultimate viceroy of India from 1943 to 1947, meticulously chronicling his experience through the twilight of the British Raj. With only light edits from Penderel Moon, Wavell's journal delivers a lucid account of declining imperial power and rising nationalist aspirations in India during the Second World War. Wavell's frustrations multiply through the journal, revealing not only the viceroy's suspicions of key Indian leaders, but also the growing intractability of continued colonial rule. The journal confirms Moon's opening assertion that the structural limitations of the viceroyalty crippled Wavell.

A response from an Anglo Burmese school friend of mine. John, No i don't know of this Family.

Grandfather GEORGE LEE born 1881Wiltshire was in Royal Artillery Wiltshire Regiment, there is another GEORGE LEE almost identical and has a brother THOMAS although according to records that GEORGE died, I thought he was mine at first as Aunty told me GEORGE had a brother THOMAS well according to the Census he did not, he came from Devizes, as I say there are two and unless I have made a mistake, Aunty told me that it was the brother THOMAS that was married to a Burmese lady, the girl in the picture I am sure is mixed race. My fathers name was George E C Lee born 1916 Essex. He too was in Burma but 1930's he was called back when GEORGE senior died in 1936 in Cheltenham. Followed by… On the photo frame it says D.A. Ahuja Under The Patronage of H.E. Commander in Chief of India H.M The Leit. Govnr of Burma 47 Sule Pagoda Road Rangoon.

> Hi > > I should be on this as well I posted the same info to this list as to the other one, i did get a mail saying it was duplicated am confused perhaps I did something wrong without knowing. Thank you for reply Maureen, it is not them I double check the George it was mine in the army it gives his father which I have as well. He was Henry the other brothers left the army and NO Thomas so the elderly was wrong about that, although she says she used to visit them in North London when she was young and THOMAS whoever this was, was married to DOLL and had a son Charlie never been able to substantiate this. Thanks again Elaine > >

Elaine Don't give up. I have just found - by sheer luck - on Ancestry an Anglo/Burmese branch of my family. My great grandmother's brother married the daughter of a Burmese rajah. We had always known that his wife was Burmese but had few details. We knew they had children and I found a few via www.familysearch.org I always wondered whether the descendants were still in Burma but I have now discovered that they all escaped the Burma war in the late 20s/early30s. They seem to have all come to England safely although a few generations later they are spread round the world again! I am now trying to round them up.
