JDM in uniform.  He was discharged as a Lt. Colonel.  His time in India was “monotonous” as he put it, and he never returned.  His job was as an ordinance officer in the India-China-Burma theater.

JDM said  of this experience:  “...The worst part of this place is the monotony.  There is only so much to do outside of duty, and when you have been to all the places once, there isn’t much point in further visits.”

JDM  on extreme right; second from left is  General Joseph(“Vinegar Joe” Stilwell.

MacDonald did not have much good to say about the man.
