Oh--Mahn Thet San passed away in 2008.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahn_Thet_San
He was a close friend of one of my brothers in law--
I used to tease him when he had nothing to do at the Burma Research Inst? but boil glue from water buffalo horn--
As in --ah kyan kone, galone sar chett.
Out of ideas, the garuda boils salt.
I'm sad to find out he passed away.

I was just wondering how it must have felt for Aung Zeya (later King Alaunghpaya) as a boy growning up in the Kabaw Valley to experience a Manipuri raid and I found this.

It's all there, except the sounds, the mud, the dirt, the screams, the rapes--the fear, the tears, common to war. https://www.youtube.c...
