I was sent to India as part of the Blood Tranfussion Unit. The Unit was dispanded for weeks when we arrived. There were soon vacancies in a laboratory at the General Head Quaters in New Delhi and I soon had the opportunity to do Food Analysis. I was transferred to the Lahore Food Laboratory and shared a room in the Royal Army Medical Corps quaters opposite the ospital. Here I analysed every type of food available as well as food poisoning among the Army. E.g. In Syngapore British Troops drunk what they thought was rum and died, we later found that what they had drunk was pure Methile coloured like rum.
