The Congratulatory Letters:    
pages 1 - 36        pages  37 - 72       pages  73 - 110   
 
​
Correspondence to and from his extensive circle of friends and acquaintances in Burma and abroad.  Many refer to his award of the decoration of the C.I.E., two examples of which are as follows:-

“My Dear Moung Ohn Ghine
I am highly pleased to see by the telegrams to hand that you are the first Burman non-official in the Province who has had the honour of being called to the order of C.I.E. ship.  I am justly proud of this as being also a native of Burma.  I hope you will be spared many years to wear the decoration and that in future years this may blossom to a K.C.I.E. ship.  Once more congratulating you on the high honour done to you by our gracious Queen Empress.
Yours very sincerely,
Z.M. D’Silva
Mandalay, 3rd January 1900”

“My Dear Ko Ohn Ghine                 
The opening of the year has brought you luck, of which I am very happy to hear and hope that further honours will be bestowed upon you.  Wishing you and yours a very happy New Year.  I shall call over to see you at your place about 10 am.                                 
Yours sincerely,                                                 
V.J. Mariano    
Rangoon, Monday, New Year’s Day, 1900”    

Other letters refer to his extensive religious and charity work e.g. Dufferin Hospital, (one of the wings was named after him and his wife Mah Yait,) St John’s College, The Rangoon Volunteers.  

His good character is vouched for by a number of people including Rev’d. John E. Marks, Principal of St. John’s College 1875,The Bombay Burmah Trading Corp., who mention in one letter the valuable service he rendered in Mandalay 1885, around the time of King Thebaw.  

Further letters refer to his appointments as Honorary Magistrate and Municipal Commissioner. 

​The Coronation  ​​
His own account of a visit to the U.K. during which he stayed for at time at the home of “my old friend and teacher the Rev’d. Dr. Marks.”  By accepting many invitations he is entertained by leading companies and figures of the time.  He was present at the Coronation as the Representative of the Province of Burma.

The “Marks’ Memorial” Committee
U Ohn Ghine, A.T.M. C.I.E., Chairman (highlighted) Please see the entry below
                   
          The above photo appears in “Forty Years in Burma” by the Rev’d. Dr. John E. Marks and is on our recommended reading list.

If you know the names of anyone else in the photo please tell us, we believe the following gentlemen may also be present:
J.T. Best, J. Courtney, Thomas Lyons, C.K. Davies and Moung Shwe Bwin

Our sincere thanks are offered to a descendant of MOG (as he affectionately calls him) for alerting us with the following information:-
​"... You reprint the photo of the committee but you highlight the wrong person as MOG.  The central seated figure in the white tunic is MOG."
He also reminds us that:- " MOG died of sepsis in London on 10 June 1911 while [in the U.K.] to attend the coronation of George V 22 June 1911."
