About this book
Sir Herbert Thirkell White looks back on more than thirty years of official life in Burma in this 1913 memoir. He calls it a plain story, not a guidebook, history or study of customs, and keeps to events he knew himself. Chapters cover his early years, work in the Secretariat, the taking of Mandalay, Lord Dufferin's visit, the first year after annexation, a visit to the Shan States and the Boundary Commission, with a chapter on Buddhism and photographs by A. Leeds and others.
