    King Thibaw was deposed and deported to Madras on 10th Dec. 1885. Among those who accompanied the ex-Royal family were seven young maids-of-honour. Some of them were said to be Kachin girls. They were unhappy in India and became disobedient and troublesome. After four months they were sent back on the S.S. Asia. After their return the British administration granted each a pension of Rs. 10 a month, as long as they remained unmarried.

    In 1766 King Sinphyushin fought Thailand (Ayuthaya) and captured their capital. One of the cannon brought back from Thailand was recently excavated from Innwa (Ava) city and displayed in the Military Museum at 49th Myanmar Military Day Exhibition. It was an unusual display because after the Third Anglo - Burmese War, General Prendergast sent most cannon and captured guns to England, as presents to Queen Victoria and her court. For this reason many Myanmar cannon remain in the United Kingdom.
