At Kyaukse, south of Mandalay on the road to Meiktila, Indian troops of 80th Indian Infantry Brigade (20th Indian Division) occupy the town.

Indian troops advancing towards a railway station with the Shwethalyaung hill in the background. Indian troops advance towards railway rolling stock. Troops amongst rolling stock. A station building appears to have collapsed. A sign reads Kyaukse. Closer shot; a company commander speaks on a wireless to his battalion HQ. Troops amongst damaged buildings.
