Saki (H.H. Munro) was born today, Dec 18, in Akyab, Burma --

Very interesting. I did not know this, nor his "Burma connection" in colonial military police force in Burma, so like George Orwell's.

I also did not know he died of a sniper's bullet while an enlisted soldier.

I wish more native Burmese wrote/write in English then and now.
