Valerie Willix Howells
Recollections of a Burma Girl by Valerie Willix Howells. Valerie's story starts with her early childhood memories, her parents and the homes they occupied around the country, she includes a few photos, the family was to settle in Maymyo where they were interned during the war. Valerie recounts some memories of this time. Although the internment was “really bad” she remained positive throughout and started a school for the children. Her positive thinking was to see her through until she died in 2001 in Australia having arrived there in 1947. In April 2001 she had celebrated 50 years of marriage to Peter who concludes the remainder of her life story with these words “I was honoured to share fifty years with Val. She was energetic, generous, enthusiastic, kind, loving, fun-loving, sincere, honest, a gifted pianist, a lover of animals. She had a strong faith in God and a keen sense of duty. She was a wonderful wife.”
