In northern Burma, pack mules are swum across the River Irrawaddy by troops of 36th Division.

Looking over the side of a boat with men in the water as they attempt to cajole mules into the water. Mules swimming alongside the boat and boatmen paddling. More mules led into the water. Mules and handlers in front of a large and apparently overgrown pagoda. Man directing (?); he appears to be a Gurkha but is wearing civilian (?) longyi. Mules at the riverside. More mules into the water. Mules emerging at the far side; pagoda on the opposite. Boat paddled. Various shots of mules emerging from the water.

Notes

No dopesheet for this film. 36th Division insignia suggest northern Burma, probably in late December 1944.
