60. George and Olive Lewtey of Rangoon and Surrey

George Ronald Crutchley Lewtey was born in Burma in 1881. His parents were William Henry and Ellen Lucy Lewtey.

Olive Eleanor Beale was born in Moulmein, Burma in 1883. Her parents were Alfred and Florence Beale.

George and Olive married in Rangoon on 10 November 1909.

George and Olive at Winsome's wedding

He was an electrical and mechanical engineer. She was a music teacher.

There is a record of an Olive Beale, sailing from Liverpool to Montréal. There is a record of a George R Lewty serving with Army Service Corps in WWI.

They had two children in Rangoon:

• 62.2.1 Winsome Eleanor Lewtey (1911-1982)
• 62.2.2 Marguerite Mary Lewtey (1914-1989)

More on these individuals in Chapter 62.

They were in Rangoon at the outbreak of WWII. After a little research, I asked Mum if she knew how they had got out of Burma. "Didn't they have to walk a long way?" I suppose such understatement may have been typical of the day, especially when talking to young people.

They are recorded on the list of evacuees held by the Anglo-Burmese Library, with a destination address of Shady View Solan, Simla Hills, Himachal Pradesh, and an arrival date of 19 May 1942, three days after the birth of their granddaughter, four days after the monsoon broke, and four days after the completion of the Army's evacuation.

On 7 March 1942, the Burma Army evacuated Rangoon after implementing a scorched earth plan to deny the Japanese the use of its facilities. The port was destroyed and the oil terminal was blown up. As the Allies departed, the city was on fire. The last train left on 7 March; the last shipping left in the early hours of the following morning.

The Allies tried to make a stand in central Burma. It was hoped that the Chinese Expeditionary Force in Burma, and the Sixth and Sixty-sixth Armies, could hold a front south of Mandalay. The Allies hoped that the Japanese advance would slow down; instead, it gained speed.  The Japanese reinforced their two divisions in Burma with troops transferred from Malaya and the Dutch East Indies after the fall of Singapore and Java. They also brought in large numbers of captured British trucks and other vehicles, which allowed them to move supplies rapidly using southern Burma's road network.

The Allies were hampered by the progressive breakdown of the civil government in the areas they held, and the large numbers of refugees. The flow of refugees began soon after the bombing of Rangoon in late December 1941 and increased to a "mass exodus" in February 1942 as the Indian (and Anglo-Indian and Anglo-Burmese) population of Burma fled to India, fearing both the Japanese and hostile Burmese. The retreat was conducted in horrible circumstances. Starving refugees, disorganised stragglers, and the sick and wounded clogged the primitive roads and tracks leading to India.

Perhaps they caught a train for the first leg of their journey. The first 400 miles would have been to Mandalay: from there the most direct route to the border was another 260 miles. Myitkina was another 340 miles away from the Japanese, and was the temporary capital but still 230 miles from the Indian [now Bangladeshi] border across the mountains. "Hills erupt from the plains of Burma. Not rolling and gentle, but strident and steep... Green with tangle forest and jungle clinging to outcrops of rock, the hills range in rows, on and on, they rise and fall like a giant corrugated roof." (Exodus Burma). Whatever happened, they ended their journey in an unfeasibly long walk, through unspeakable conditions. All these walks ended with 5-15 days through hills 5000-8000 ft high in almost unbearable heat.

The Independent has the story of one escape: "There were seven different routes out of Burma, which varied in length, difficulty and condition – and while Ram's family went on a more straightforward and sensible path, even on that route there were many deaths. Diseases such as tuberculosis, dysentery, and malaria flourished. [Insects also plagued the refugees.] Exhaustion and lack of food also swiftly picked off weaker travellers – and left families with terrible decisions to make." Cambridge University has film of a famous rescue.

At least 500,000 civilian fugitives reached India, while an unknown number, conservatively estimated between 10,000 and 50,000, died along the way. In later months, 70 to 80% of those who reached India were afflicted with diseases such as dysentery, smallpox, malaria or cholera, with 30% "desperately so".

Remarkably, after the Chindits (special operations units of the British and Indian armies) had fought back in 1943, and the advances of Viscount Slim's 14th Army, supported by the US Commandos, through 1944, Meiktila and Mandalay were recaptured in March 1945, and Rangoon on 4 May.

"Burma was a phenomenal victory in the most difficult of circumstances, and was as much a victory over climate and geography as the enemy. It was a victory won through the courage and endurance of troops drawn from across the British Commonwealth, and the superb generalship of Slim. While history has often referred to the Burma campaign as the “forgotten war”, it is clear there is an enormous amount worthy of remembrance." (Ministry of Defence)

Somehow, George and Olive made it to Britain; they lived in Surrey. He died there on 25 August 1953, she in North Walsham on 5 April 1955. I know sadly little about my great-grandparents. Mum remembers them as lovely people. They played golf and had dogs.

• Francis Nelstrop Green (1892-1972)
• He was a clerk.
• He volunteered for the Royal Navy in WWI, and served on HMS Sir Thomas Picton. This class of ship was built in 1915 to engage German shore artillery in occupied Belgium. The ship's original 12" main battery was stripped from the obsolete Majestic-class battleship HMS Mars. Mars was converted to a troop ship and, in a twist of fate, was covered by Sir Thomas Picton during the evacuation of Dardanelles, using her own former guns. Francis would have been on board for that action. He was invalided out of the Navy with sight problems in July 1916.

• Stewart Green (1882-1917)
• In 1911, at home in Woodhouse near Sheffield. He was a chartered accountant.
• He volunteered for 1/4th (Hallamshire) Battalion (Territorial Force), York and Lancaster Regiment WWI in September 1914, and served with a rank of Company Quartermaster Sergeant.
• The unit was formed in Sheffield, and moved to Doncaster, Gainsborough, and York; landed at Boulogne April 1915 and became 148th Brigade in 49th (West Riding) Division. The Division remained in France and Flanders, and took part in the Battle of Aubers Ridge, the defence against the first Phosgene attack, and at the Somme in 1916. In 1917, they took part in operations on the Flanders Coast, and The Battle of Poelcapelle, a phase of the Third Battle of Ypres.

• The Divisions field guns were on the Wieltje–Gravenstafel road, west of the Steenbeek, with only a few forward. Transport of ammunition by pack animal was only possible to guns kept within 100–150 yds of roads. Journeys previously an hour long took from 6 to 16 hours, and the ammunition arrived coated with slime.
• Two brigades from the Division assembled behind Frezenberg and Potijze, about 2.5 miles from the jumping off line in support of the 66th Division, and Anzac divisions. The brigades were expected to cover the distance in five hours but the dark, rain, state of the ground and fitful German artillery fire caused serious delays. Staff officers were sent out to hurry on every man capable of going faster, rather than keeping units together. When the creeping barrage began, the troops who had arrived spread out and followed the barrage. The creeper was difficult to follow, because much of the field artillery was out of action, some of the rest fired inaccurately from unstable platforms and many high-explosive shells were smothered by the mud.
• On Passchendaele Ridge and the Wallemolen Spur, inadequate artillery support, the German pillboxes and extensive uncut barbed wire of the Flandern I Stellung (Flanders I Position), rain, mud, shell-hole machine-gun nests and counter-attacks, led the attackers being forced back towards their start lines. The Division began the attack exhausted from the conditions of the approach march and some units had not arrived when the attack began. This delay allowed German pillboxes to fire on other allied divisions.
• The New Zealand Division described finding wounded men:
  

  ... famished and untended on the battlefield.... Those that could not be brought back were dressed in the muddy shell holes.... On the morning of the 12th many of these unfortunate men were still lying upon the battlefield, and not a few had meantime died of exposure in the wet and cold weather.... Even before the attack, dressing stations and regimental aid posts as well as the battlefield itself were crowded with the wounded of the 49th (West Riding) Division.
  

  — Colonel Hugh Stewart

• Stewart died of wounds on 17 December 1917, and was buried in Lijssenthoek Military Cemetery. The Division's memorial is at Essex Farm, Ypres.
