My Road To Mandalay eBook

Don Townsend signed up on his 20th Birthday in 1940. He spent 1941 supporting the 8th Army in Egypt and then took a commission in the Indian Army, becoming a specialist in Tank Transport. He led convoys across India and delivered tanks, troops and even Christmas drinks to the front lines in the Battle for Burma. His story is told from letters written to his family and from early 1944 to his new pen-friend, who later became his wife.
