Notes

Dorman-Smith had been Governor since 1941, and was forced to evacuate following the Japanese invasion. He returned to Burma in October 1945, but could not deal effectively with the changed political landscape. He returned to Britain on health grounds, and in the expectation of returning, but was replaced permanently by Sir Hubert Rance in August 1946.
