Mr. Ernest Davies

In March, 1949, His Majesty's Government invited the Burmah Oil Company and Associated Companies to continue the work of rehabilitation for a period after 7th March. They agreed to guarantee the Company against any losses incurred during this period which were attributable to their response to His Majesty's Government's request.
