Peter Weerakoon from Australia has sent us the following e mail on May 01, 2013

“Lucky, this might be of interest to  you. I was seven years old and in Kalutara at that time where my Dad was ASP. I saw the planes in the distances like birds,ad as ,my younger sister was crying I was Showing her birds flying in the distance.  until my dad,s return without, Mum from Easter Service, at St John's and ordered the servants and  both me and my little sister   into the Trench in the Garden, the birds were in fact Jap planes flying  near the horizon ,He donned his uniform and left with a Kiss to me and my younger sister. Mum And my other three siblings,namely  Yvonne (Akki), Ronnie and Brad arrived from church after the all clear was sounded.  No bombs fell anywhere near us. We were of course sent off from near Kalutara town to a Small Rubber  Plantation owned by one of my Dads friends, in a place called Megaha tenne.

Gututalawa Branch was then opened  as Mount became a military Hospital and both my Brothers Ronnie and Brad were the pioneers of Guru, sometime after this my Dad was promoted and transferred as SP UVA province.

Enjoy.
Peter”
