My grandfather built oil well rigs in the 20's and 30's in Southeast Asia and India for BP (British Petroleum).
He was building wells going up the Irrawady River in the mid-30's when the Japanese invaded China and went down to Burma overland from the north. His division then proceeded back downriver, destroying the oil well equipment as fast as possible.
