Rangoon Corporation
Scott Market To Keep Name
A proposal made by U Ba Hlaing to change the name of Scott Market to Mingala Market was defeated at yesterday evenings meeting of the Public Health and Markets Committee, Rangoon Corporation. Those present were:- M. Auzam, the Mayor, U Ba Win, K.M. Dangali, S.T. Leong, Capt. Ba Hpu, U Ba Hla, A.R. Nizami, A. Sequeira, U Ba Hlaing, Dr. Maung Glay, M.B. Padgett, U Kyaw Zan, U Myo Kin, Secretary, G. Laval, Asst. Secretary, Dr. B.P. Srivalave, Health Officer, U Thein Min, Veterinary Officer, U Htoon Pay, Superintendent, Scott Market and Mr M. Rorke, Motor Transport Officer.
... The following resolution moved by U Ba Hlaing at the adjourned meeting of the Corporation held on December 12th was considered : “That the name of Scott Market be changed into that of Mingala Market.” In support of his proposal U Ba Hlaing said that in Burma public institutions like Scott Market should have Burmese names. In his opinion there was no reason why the market in question should be named Scott Market. “Mingala,” a derivation from Pali, meant “auspicious” and would be a familiar word to Burmans.
Mr Nizami said that the market was named after the late Mr Gavin Scott, who had been a Commissioner of the Corporation for a number of years.
Mr Gavin Scott’s Work
Dr. Murray said that the late Mr Gavin Scott had done more for the development of Rangoon than any other person. He had helped to build up the Corporation to what it was at the time he handed over the Commissionership to Dr. Maung Set. It could even be said that he had trained the Councillors and the Chairman of Committees. When the construction of the Scott Market was completed, the Corporation thought it only fit to perpetuate his name by naming the market after him. If U Ba Hlaing felt a desire to achieve success for a municipal market by giving it an auspicious Burmese name, he could rename the Morton Street Market, which was not doing well as a financial proposition of the Corporation.
U Ba Hlaing, in reply, said that the late Mr Gavin Scott had done nothing for the benefit of Burma. He was just an ordinary bureaucrat of the Indian Civil Service, who had become Commissioner of the Corporation by the simple process of transfer. He was just like any of the numerous bureaucrats in the Civil,, Police and other services who were paid fat salaries to do whatever work they were called upon to do.
U Kyaw Zan said that if U Ba Hlaing had known Mr Scott he would never have spoken as he had done. Mr Scott was not only very fine officer but one of the nicest men one could meet.
The Secretary said that the late Mr Scott had not been keen about the Corporation’s desire to name the market after him. He expressed a preference to give it some impersonal name. With the completion of the market, there were two proposals, one to name it after him and the other to name it the “Municipal Zegyi.” The Corporation decided unanimously to name it after Mr Scott.
U Kyaw Zan remarked that Burmans commonly referred to Scott Market as “Zethit.”
U Ba Hlaing’s proposal was put to the meeting. Three votes against and two for it. The proposal was lost.
A proposal made by U Ba Hlaing to change the name of Scott Market to Mingala Market was defeated at yesterday evenings meeting of the Public Health and Markets Committee, Rangoon Corporation.

Roads & Buildings Committee

The first business was the election of a chairman of the Committee for 1940. Mr Nicoll proposed that Capt. Ba Hpu, last year’s Chairman, be re-elected while Mr Dawoodjee proposed U Ba Soe. Five voted for U Ba Soe and four for Capt. Ba Hpu.
Capt. Ba Hpu said that in view of the fact that Mr Tonks would be shortly leaving Burma on leave preparatory to retirement, he would like to move the following resolution: “That this Committee recommends to the Corporation that it do place on record its appreciation of the meritorious service rendered to the Corporation by Mr Tonks.” Capt. Ba Hpu added “Mr Tonks joined the Corporation in February 1925 as a temporary Asst. Engineer, Roads & Buildings Dept. The work done by him during the first few months in service was so satisfactory that in May 1925 the Corporation appointed him to officiate as City Engineer, Roads & Buildings. In February 1926 he was appointed Chief Asst. Engineer, Roads & Buildings and was confirmed in this appointment in April 1927. Later in the same year this appointment was converted to Executive Engineer, Roads & Buildings. Mr Tonks officiated once as Executive Engineer, Water & Sewage Dept. and as Chief Engineer on several occasions.
Mr Auzam, the Mayor, and Mr Munshi associated themselves with Capt. Ba Hpu’s resolution and remarks. U So Nyun, the Commissioner, on behalf of the Executive, said that Mr Tonks had an excellent record of service in the Corporation. His unassuming ways coupled with his loyalty and his efficiency had won for him the affection of his brother officers and his staff and the admiration of all. Through he was retiring on account of superannuation, Mr Tonks was still young and he hoped that any work that Mr Tonks might take up on his return to England would meet with success.
U Ba Soe, the Chairman, said that he endorsed all that had been said and he would take it that Capt. Ba Hpu’s resolution had been carried unanimously.
Mr Tonks thanked the Committee for what had been said in appreciation of his service in the Corporation
Further Business

THE MOULMEIN RUBBER PLANTATIONS LTD.
Reasons Given For Present Price of Rubber. “Difficult” Year Under Review.
“The present price has been reached by the desire of manufactures in the insecurity of war to expand their stocks of materials and by the treaty under which the British Government has to supply the Government of the U.S.A. with about 85,000 tons of rubber which, in the absence of a major war emergency, will be retained for seven years as a frozen reserve. The haste with which American manufactures endeavoured to increase their stocks and the clumsy method adopted by the British Government to cover its “bear” commitment have accentuated the influence both these events have had on prices. When these abnormal requirements and others which perhaps may arise have been satisfied, reliance will have to be placed on a substantial increase in consumption or a reduction in the permissible exportable quantity to maintain prices.” Thus remarked Mr W.J.C. Richards, the Chairman, in the course of a speech which he delivered at the thirtieth annual general meeting of the Moulmein Rubber Plantations Ltd., which was held at the registered offices of the Company, nos. 67-69 Lewis St., Rangoon, on December 29th 1939 at 4 p.m.
Mr W.J.C. Richards, Chairman of the Company, presided, with Mr J.S. Findlay and Mr Alister Rose, Directors. Others present were:
F.W. Lunt ; R.M. Lunn ; T.B. Carey ; S.G. Richards ; C.W. Carleton ; C.F. Featherston ; E.C.V. Foucar ; D. Sucaram ; G.A. Brown.
After the representative of the Managing Agents had read the notice convening the meeting and the Auditor’s Report, the Chairman addressed the meeting. ... Mr Dawn regrets his absence at the meeting which is due to his inability to travel from Moulmein. His interest in the Company’s affairs are unabated and he is consulted on matters of policy and all other important questions. ...

Burma Sappers & Miners
Essential in war : Prosperous in Peace
There seems to be some misapprehension among a few people that the Burma Sappers and Miners are a regiment of labourers, perhaps because it is not sufficiently realise that the Sappers and Miners have to undergo the same training as that of the Infantry, states a Press communiqué.
The Burma Sapper and Miners are Regular soldiers in the most complete sense of the word and in war time there is scarcely a more honoured position than that of Regular soldier. If the war proves long, what is called “the civilian armies” also come into it but in such a time as this, when a great war is in the stage of development, month by month, the Regular – Burman, British, Indian or of the Dominions – is in exact truth the saviour of the Empire.
Sappers and Miners are not only soldiers but in a sense they are super-soldiers for they learn the weapons of attack and defence; they learn drill and tactics as well, like the Infantry Regular, such as the Gloucestershire or the Punjab Regiment and besides this they learn a trade which is of use in war or peace.
The term “Sappers and Miners” sounds very soldierly to the soldier’s mind, but may suggest digging and only digging, to the civilian mind. The regimental title, like other regimental titles, such as Lancers and Fusiliers, is somewhat a relic of the past. As for actual sapping and mining, in the sense of burrowing towards the enemy’s trenches, it is done by all who have to. And most certainly by infantry. If Infantry can get sapper help in making a sound technical job of trenches or mining, they naturally do so. Any notion that the Sapper is particularly used for digging and carrying is ridiculous.
History
The Burma Sappers and Miners were first raised on July 9th 1887. They saw service in the Chin Hills in 1888 and in Mesopotamia during the last war. They also served in Afghanistan after the war. When Burma was separated from India, the Corps became the first all Burman unit in that non-Burmans were no longer recruited for it. Recruiting has been proceeding steadily since then and it is now nearly up to the full establishment of a Corps Headquarters and a field Company.
During the early period, recruits do exactly the same work as those of the Infantry, such as drill, physical training, musketry, bayonet-fighting and education in English, with the only difference that they, in addition to normal work, have to learn one of the trades, such as carpentry, brick-laying or engine-driving. After the preliminary training they learn field-work, trench-work, bridging over land and water, making of obstacles, demolitions and other interesting subjects.
After some years with the Corps they become very proficient in their trades, which are of great assistance to them to find suitable work when they leave the Army. While in the Army, if they show aptitude for a certain trade, they become artificers or skilled tradesmen, for which they draw extra pay. On enlistment, a recruit gets Rs. 16 a month and the pay rises as his service becomes longer and as he becomes more proficient in a trade. He gets free uniforms, free rations and free quarters. Sappers get more pay than infantry soldiers because they draw engineer pay in addition to their basic pay.
The highest rank to which a Sapper can rise is Subedar-Major. The scale of pay for Governor’s Commissioned Officers/Non-Commissioned Officers are ...
In all races there are men who are suited to soldiering and others who are not. If a young Burman feels that army life is the one for him he can join the Burma Sapper and Miners resting assured that he will enjoy all the honour of a soldier’s calling.

St. John Ambulance Association
The annual report ... which was passed at the combined general meeting of the Association and the St. John Ambulance Brigade Overseas which was held at the Jubilee Hall on Tuesday with His Excellency, the Governor in the chair ... The most important feature of the work in Rangoon during the year ... the number of classes held for adults and working people. The Corporation of Rangoon kindly allowed the large hall ... to be used by the Brigade during the duration of the war. With the kind permission of Justice U Ba U, the Commissioner of the Brigade, one half of the hall has been allocated for lectures in First Aid and in Home Nursing with a human skeleton, charts etc. ...
Lady June Hobson has kindly helped in securing the honorary services of Dr. Alan Murray, Dr. Burgess-Barnett, Mrs Anderson, Mrs MacQueen, Miss Briggs, Miss Thorton, Mrs S. Walker, Mrs Dingemans, Mrs P. Walker, Mrs McArtney, Dr. Mrs . Talwar and Dr. R.S. Dugal to lecture to or examine the many classes which people have been eager to attend. A class of Burmese ladies organised by Mrs Thein Maung, wife of the Advocate-General of Burma, is also taking a course of lectures in Burmese given by Dr. Ma Thein Nyunt.
The work has been cheerfully undertaken by all concerned, but it must be acknowledged with gratitude that Dr. Alan Murray has done a great deal of the work of these classes and Capt. Ameen has continued his honorary services and has re-examined five of the Nursing Divisions and four of the school classes.
Some enthusiastic ladies at Mingaladon formed two classes in First Aid and one in Home Nursing. Capt. Russell, R.A.M.C., of the British Military Hospital, kindly helped in the work. Mrs Dingemans took the trouble to go twice a week to lecture to the class. ... It was found even more difficult to get a lecturer for a class of ladies which Mrs Carpenter had organised at the Burmah Oil Co. Works at Syriam. Several doctors were appealed to but after all Dr. J. Ruttonsha kindly adjusted his hours of consultation and gave a course of eight lectures. ...

Books
Classes in Home Nursing held in Burma suffered a great disadvantage from the want of a suitable text-book. The book meant for Europeans contains matter, treatment and special prescriptions of diet, which are not suited to Burma, the other book which has been used has been designed for “Indian women living in Indian style.” Sir Oscar de Glanville, C.I.E., O.B.E., during his Chairmanship looked into this important matter and suggested that some doctor, more suitably one belonging to Burma, should be found who could adapt the book to suit conditions in Burma. At the request of the Executive Committee, Dr. Daw Yin (Mrs Min Sein) F.R.C.S., M.R.C.P., has revised the book and one thousand copies have been printed locally ... We are indeed very grateful to Dr. Mrs Min Sein ...

J. Burgess Barnett (left) was the winner, creating a new record of 14 mins. 15 secs. T.J. Gibson (right) was second.
The third competitor was L. McK Taylor.
With J. Burgess Barnett winning the Kokine Swimming Club’s annual half-mile event in the Club’s pool in 14 mins. 15 secs. on Saturday evening, a record of eleven years’ standing was broken. The former record stood at 15 mins. 7 secs. created by B.E. Jackson in 1929 when the half-mile swim was done in the Kokine Lake. The second man home, T.J. Gibson, also covered the distance in better time than Jackson, clocking 14 mins. 50 secs. He finished about a length behind Burgess Barnett. The course was 26½ lengths of the Club’s pool. Three competitors lined up for the start, Burgess Barnett, Gibson and L. McK Taylor. Burgess Barnett, taking the lead from the start, received little or no competition and led from start to finish. Throughout he swam strongly and with confidence and gradually increased the distance between himself and Gibson to a full length. Taylor was never in the race at all, but sportingly continued to swim even though the other two men had completed the course. He began his 21st length as Gibson came home. His effort was recognised by the spectators who applauded him warmly.

Cricket
Rowe Shield Final
The Rangoon Mohammedans regained the Rowe Cricket Shield after an interval of five years by beating University College in the final of the tournament which was concluded last evening. The Mohammedans won by 181 runs. The Shield was last in the keeping of the Mohammedans at the conclusion of the 1934-35 season. Then for four years in succession, from 1936-1939, the College won the trophy. Last year they were presented with a replica. The College should never have lost in this year’s final by so wide a margin. No doubt the absence of L.B. Smart and Hans Raj was felt, both finding it impossible to play because of the University examinations. Smart’s inclusion particularly would have made a world of difference to the team, in both spheres of batting and bowling. ... (The following also took part in the match:- B. Cockerton, G. Molloy, N, Gaudoin.)

U Tin Tut, M.A., I.C.S., Chancellor of the University of Rangoon and Mrs Tin Tut were the guests of honour. ... The Principal, Mr J.S.B. Abraham, in presenting his report said ... We are also fortunate in our friends, Rev’d. G.P. Charles, Rev’d. Benjamin and Rev’d. T.B. Joseph have assisted us in our religious work. G.D.

Abraham, joined the school in 1935 as Headmaster and as Dr. Wyatt’s principal lieutenant. Up till then the Principals of the school had been men from the West, but Mr Abraham so impressed the Mission with his ability and energy that in 1936 it was found possible for the first time to entrust the responsible duties of Principal to a son of the Orient and Mr Abraham succeed Dr. Wyatt as Principal, the distinguished lady who is the wife of the Principal becoming the Headmistress. ... Mrs Tin Tut then distributed the prizes:- The following are just some of the winners:-

Bantamweight (semi-finals)
Mohammed Jan beat Maung San San on points. Wild hitting characterised this contest. Featherweight (semi-finals) S. Nott was too good for G. David and after meting out heavy punishment won on a t.k.o. in the last round. Flyweight (semi-finals) G. Andrews was too clever for P. Talbot and an uppercut during the first round cut Talbot’s lips badly and he retired. Andrews won on a t.k.o. R. Martin beat Saw Sandy on points. The contest was devoid of action and it was Martin’s forcing tactics that won him the fight. |
Lightweight (semi-finals)
D. D’Cruz and B. Satur gave a sparkling display and Satur, whose defensive boxing was better and punching more accurate, was given the verdict on points. G. Oliver, who made a bad start having been floored in the first round rallied strongly to beat L. Hogan on points. Welterweight (semi-finals) N. D’Cruz gave a masterly exhibition of boxing and beat G. Anderson easily on points. Anderson, however, was a trier throughout. J. Mealin won on a foul in the first round against V. Vaughan, who was warned repeatedly for holding and hitting. |
|
Middleweight (final)
H. Smith beat W. Avietick on points by judicious use of a straight left. Bantamweight (final) A. Everard threw one punch – a left hook to the face – and shook his opponent, Mohammed Jan, to win on a t.k.o. Mohammed Jan quit after he received the punch. Featherweight (final) Experience in the person of veteran G. Weidman paved the way to victory over S. Nott on points. Weidman, idol of a decade ago, showed his youthful opponent the finer points of the game. |
Flyweight (final)
G. Andrews boxed cleverly to beat R. Martin on points decisively. Andrews was effective with his left leads and hooks. Lightweight (final) B. Satur carried too many guns for G. Oliver, who was sent to the boards repeatedly in the first round till the referee intervened and gave the fight to Satur on a t.k.o. Welterweight (final) N . D’Cruz beat J. Mealin on a t.k.o. in the 2nd round. G. David won the Best Loser’s Cup. |

Gymkhana Club v Rangoon Battalion XV
The outcome of yesterday’s game at the Rangoon Gymkhana Club was a surprise to most people, for the Rangoon Battalion XV was weakened by injuries, while the Rest of looked to have a strong combination on paper. In the event the Rest were routed by 2 goals, a try and 2 penalty goals (19 points) to nil. It is true that they were upset by Dillon’s having to retire half way through the first half with an injury but they would have had to put up a better show then they did in the early stages to get the better of a lively side playing with great keenness. ... The teams were:-
Rangoon Battalion
Flack ; Scott ; Glover ; Hutchison ; Archard ; Swan ; Harcourt-Cooze (sic) ; Burns ; K. Martin ; Humphreys ; L.R. Martin ; Gemmell ; MacDonald ; Clifford ; Spiers.

Burma Naval Force
Burma has her own naval force today and is proud of it. But it should not be thought that this is her first venture in combatant seamanship. Also, it is to be hoped, it will not be her last and that the keel laid down in time of war will be the foundation of a naval force for immediate defence and afterwards in time of peace.
Burma has a coastline of about 1200 miles and it is on record that from the earliest times the maritime provinces, such as Arakan, Pegu and Tenasserim, produced many a stalwart seaman who braved the dangers of the deep for the purpose of trade and when the occasion demanded pursued the conquests of neighbouring countries or defended the attacks of invaders. Besides Burma being a land of many rivers, the Burmans, as many foreigners have observed are amphibians and are as much at home on water as on land. Indeed in her old days under the Burmese regime every riverine town and port of note was obliged to furnish a certain number of men and a number of boats or ships in proportion to the magnitude of the place. In the riverine towns the King could command, at very short notice, no fewer than 500 of these vessels, mounted with a six, a nine or even a twelve pounder. Besides the rowers, each armed with a sword and a lance, there were on board a detachment of thirty soldiers each armed with a musket.
Lt.-Col. Symes, who visited Burma in 1795, mentions in his account of an Embassy to the Kingdom of Ava that at the time of his visit there were in the Rangoon harbour “several ships from 600 to 1000 tons burthen on stocks; one belonging to the Maywoon of Pegu, about 900, was considered by professional men as a specimen of excellent workmanship; it was entirely wrought by Burman carpenters.” Of the ships and the workmen, Col. Symes added “whilst we admired the structure and materials of these ships, we could not overlook the mode in which the work was executed and the obvious merit of the artificers. The Burma shipwrights are athletic men and possess in an eminent degree, that vigour which distinguishes Europeans and gives them pre-eminence over the enervated natives of the East; nor do I imagine that the inhabitants of any country are capable of greater bodily exertion than the Burmans.”
With the advent of the British and the coastline well guarded there was no ned for the Burmans to take part in the naval defence of the country. With the separation of Burma from India and indeed before it the Burmans have agitated for a separate Burmese navy and teh foundation for such a navy has now been well and truly laid by the establishment of tje Nurm R.N.V.R.
The duty of the B.R.N.V.R. is to ensure that merchant shipping trading to and from Burma ports can do so in safety and therefore maintain the export and import trade of the country. Two of the most likely dangers which might arise are the laying of mines in the approaches to the port and the attacking of ships by hostile submarines and protection against these two dangers is the most important function of the Burma Naval Force.
Mines are like very large bombs and they explode if hit by a ship. They are connected by a wire on the bottom of the sea and the length of the wire is so arranged that the mines are always a few feet under the surface of the water and are therefore invisible. If for instance there were no naval ships in Burma and an enemy laid mines in the approaches to the Rangoon river, the first indication of the presence of mines that we should hear would be the blowing up of a ship entering or leaving the river. So that this should not happen it is necessary to have what are called mine-sweepers searching the approaches to the river every day to see whether mines are there or not and the Burma Government is building ships for this purpose now. They are fitted with special apparatus which, if mines are found, will cut the wire rope connecting the mine to the heave weight on the bottom of the sea. It can then be sunk or exploded by rifle or machine-gun fire.
If there were no mine-sweepers to remove the mines the port of Rangoon could not be used and no rice or teak or any other exports could leave Burma and all trade would be at a standstill and great poverty and distress would result throughout the country.
The ship[s] that are being built will be able to attack any hostile submarines approaching the coast of Burma. They will do this with “depth charges” which are ... It is therefore necessary that the Burma Naval Force should be composed of clever men because they have a lot to learn, and strong and healthy men, because they have to work with their bodies, and brave men, because they will have to fight in defence of their country, and tenacious men, because they will have to endure hardship and discomfort. There are plenty of men like these in Burma who are ready to protect their wives and families against starvation and poverty and to defend the country that they love. It is hoped that they will take full advantage of the opportunity now offered to them.
Burma has a coastline of about 1200 miles and it is on record that from the earliest times the maritime provinces, such as Arakan, Pegu and Tenasserim, produced many a stalwart seaman who braved the dangers of the deep for the purpose of trade and when the occasion demanded pursued the conquests of neighbouring countries or defended the attacks of invaders. Besides Burma being a land of many rivers, the Burmans, as many foreigners have observed are amphibians and are as much at home on water as on land. Indeed in her old days under the Burmese regime every riverine town and port of note was obliged to furnish a certain number of men and a number of boats or ships in proportion to the magnitude of the place. In the riverine towns the King could command, at very short notice, no fewer than 500 of these vessels, mounted with a six, a nine or even a twelve pounder. Besides the rowers, each armed with a sword and a lance, there were on board a detachment of thirty soldiers each armed with a musket.
Lt.-Col. Symes, who visited Burma in 1795, mentions in his account of an Embassy to the Kingdom of Ava that at the time of his visit there were in the Rangoon harbour “several ships from 600 to 1000 tons burthen on stocks; one belonging to the Maywoon of Pegu, about 900, was considered by professional men as a specimen of excellent workmanship; it was entirely wrought by Burman carpenters.” Of the ships and the workmen, Col. Symes added “whilst we admired the structure and materials of these ships, we could not overlook the mode in which the work was executed and the obvious merit of the artificers. The Burma shipwrights are athletic men and possess in an eminent degree, that vigour which distinguishes Europeans and gives them pre-eminence over the enervated natives of the East; nor do I imagine that the inhabitants of any country are capable of greater bodily exertion than the Burmans.”
With the advent of the British and the coastline well guarded there was no ned for the Burmans to take part in the naval defence of the country. With the separation of Burma from India and indeed before it the Burmans have agitated for a separate Burmese navy and teh foundation for such a navy has now been well and truly laid by the establishment of tje Nurm R.N.V.R.
The duty of the B.R.N.V.R. is to ensure that merchant shipping trading to and from Burma ports can do so in safety and therefore maintain the export and import trade of the country. Two of the most likely dangers which might arise are the laying of mines in the approaches to the port and the attacking of ships by hostile submarines and protection against these two dangers is the most important function of the Burma Naval Force.
Mines are like very large bombs and they explode if hit by a ship. They are connected by a wire on the bottom of the sea and the length of the wire is so arranged that the mines are always a few feet under the surface of the water and are therefore invisible. If for instance there were no naval ships in Burma and an enemy laid mines in the approaches to the Rangoon river, the first indication of the presence of mines that we should hear would be the blowing up of a ship entering or leaving the river. So that this should not happen it is necessary to have what are called mine-sweepers searching the approaches to the river every day to see whether mines are there or not and the Burma Government is building ships for this purpose now. They are fitted with special apparatus which, if mines are found, will cut the wire rope connecting the mine to the heave weight on the bottom of the sea. It can then be sunk or exploded by rifle or machine-gun fire.
If there were no mine-sweepers to remove the mines the port of Rangoon could not be used and no rice or teak or any other exports could leave Burma and all trade would be at a standstill and great poverty and distress would result throughout the country.
The ship[s] that are being built will be able to attack any hostile submarines approaching the coast of Burma. They will do this with “depth charges” which are ... It is therefore necessary that the Burma Naval Force should be composed of clever men because they have a lot to learn, and strong and healthy men, because they have to work with their bodies, and brave men, because they will have to fight in defence of their country, and tenacious men, because they will have to endure hardship and discomfort. There are plenty of men like these in Burma who are ready to protect their wives and families against starvation and poverty and to defend the country that they love. It is hoped that they will take full advantage of the opportunity now offered to them.
No. 1 Mechanical Transport Section of the Burma Army Service Corps
Making a Burma Army Mobile
An important advance towards giving the Army in Burma a degree of mobility in accordance with modern requirements has recently been commenced. The initial stages of the formation of No. 1 Mechanical Transport Section of the Burma Army Service Corps have now been completed under the command of Major R.I. Shaw, 4th Battn. The Burma Rifles. Apart from their Commanding Officer, who has served for the past seven years with the Burma Rifles, and one British Warrant Officer, the Unit is manned exclusively by Burmese and Karens. Their response to the call for recruits was prompt. The Unit was raised as recently as July 16th and is already fully recruited to its establishment of eighty, made up of a Burmese Subedar and Burman Warrant Officers, N.C.O’s, Drivers and Artificers.
Apart from Subedar Bo Ba Tha, of Rangoon University, who was transferred from the Mandalay Battn., Burma Military Police and selected Warrant and Non-Commissioned Officers of the Burma Rifles, the Burma Military Police and the Burma Army Service Corps the remainder of the N.C.O.’s and recruits have no previous military service The majority however already hold driving licences while some of the N.C.O.’s were enlisted from among experienced employees of Rangoon motor firms.
Although it would be possible so far as driving ability is concerned to put a percentage of the Mechanical Transport Section on the road tomorrow, it is not anticipated that the Unit will have completed the military part of its training for some little time to come. At the moment the recruits are fitting themselves for their essentially military duties and are making good progress towards efficiency. In the meantime Major Shaw together with the Subedar, Warrant Officers and Non-Commissioned Officers will visit India to again experience in their practical working of Mechanical Transport Companies. On their return the training of the recruits in their mechanical duties will be taken in hand.
It is also proposed to train a number of Mechanical Transport Reservists and a considerable number of names of men for whom no vacancies at present exist have already been registered. All those (Burmese and Karens) who are interested in this kind of service should apply in writing, stating age, address and qualifications, to the Officer Commanding No. 1 Mechanical Transport Section, B.A.S.C., Sule Barracks, Rangoon.
Here are some details of qualifications and terms of service: Recruits as Combatants (M.T. Drivers) must be of good character and Burman in the broad sense. He must conform to the same medical and physical standards as for the Burma Rifles, except that the maximum age limit is thirty. Preference will be given to applicants in possession of driving experience. Non Combatants: Artificers (fitters etc.) will be enrolled without regard to the physical standards of combatants, but they must be medically fit in all respects and able bodied men and normally men of over 41 years of age will not be accepted.
Enrolment will be for the duration of the present war and for twelve months thereafter, if so long required. This service will count towards pension in the case of any men subsequently retained on a regular peace establishment.
Pay and Allowances - ... Messing is free ... Lighting is free ... All other conditions of service are similar to those of the Burma Rifles.
