Yesterday - 13 February - was the 99th birth anniversary of General Aung San. This is a photograph of General Aung San at the Dorchester Hotel in London during negotiations with the UK government in January 1947. He is flanked by Thakin Mya and U Tin Tut (the delegation's principal negotiator). It was the moment of his greatest triumph.
Thakin Mya would be killed together with General Aung San six months later. U Tin Tut was killed in September 1948.
