Pte. John Frederick Warren

British Army 2nd Btn., HQ 3inch Mortar Pltn. King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry

from:Birmingham

With 500 rookies, I joined the 65 remnants of the 2nd King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry in New Delhi.

They had to train us to make a fighting battalion again. We had mules as transport to get used to and did training in various parts of India - the last three months in the Mysore jungle during the monsoon period, June to August 1945. We were due to move into Burma on 1st September 1945 but the dropping of the two atomic bombs on Japan ended the war and our trip was cancelled at the last minute.
