Deceived by rumour, the villagers of Chantha near Ye U, in central Burma

Deceived by rumour, the villagers of Chantha near Ye U, in central Burma, made premature arrangements for the welcoming of Allied troops.
The Mother Superior of the Convent organised. evacuees in the making of Union Jacks.Greeting were arranged for the 18th of December but the Japanese came in force instead.
Entering the Church during a thanksgiving service, they took the Priest, the Mother Superior and several
nuns captive.
From that day until the real liberation of Chantha in January, no church service has been held but on the arrival of British troops and the Padre Reverend F. Pulido of 65, King St. Bleenavon, Montreal, villagers and soldiers shared in the service.
Picture shows: British soldiers and children in the compound of the Church.
