"The second youngest brother 'through the ill-advice of my father's nephew had by now buried himself in the sweatiness and unhealthiness of the Burmese teak forests'. Aubrey Herbert Grigson 'mechanically went by way of a scholarship, and Oxford (Pembroke College), and a tropical outfitter's, into a Burmese forest'. By 1937 he was married and working as Forest Manager for the Bombay Burma Trading Corporation Limited. Captain Aubrey Grigson also served in the Army in Burma Reserve of Officers. On 11 December 1941 the first Japanese troops crossed the Siam/Burma frontier; on 23 February 1942 the Sittang Bridge was blown, with much of 17th (Indian) Division on the wrong side of the river; on 8 March Rangoon was evacuated; on Monday 27 April 1942 Aubrey Grigson was killed at Schwebo, Upper Burma by 'a Japanese bomb'."
