Notes

Dopesheet gives the location as near Waw. By this point the monsoon was in full force and much of this area inaccessible except by water. Japanese forces in Burma had been dispersed by the Allied advance, with 33rd Army scattered into the Shan Hills east of the River Sittang. In early July 1945 Japanese 33rd Army launched operations against 7th Division as a diversion to a planned breakout to the north by Japanese 28th Army (holed up in the Pegu Yomas) which commenced the day after this film was shot.
