Update 3/12/2010 by Pete R. I was given a photocopy of this picture with names and other details on the reverse by The Isle of Arran Heritage Museum. This photocopy states " Taunngyi Southern Shan States, Burma 3/2/1942 British contingent of Mission 204 to China".
Names
Both the photocopy and the reverse are pictured alongside this photo. I have transferred the names from there to here although in row 2 the numbers do not match the number of men and therefore may not be in the right order as the photocopy is faded. A similar mismatch was found in row 4. Where known to be correct the men are numbered.
