Part-3
It was Kodaw Hmaing along with other leaders of the Dobama who sent Aung San and other young men - later known as the " Thirty Comrades" - to seek military training abroad in order to fight the British.
He was elected Chairman of the World Peace Congress(Myanmar) in 1952, and won the Stalin Peace Prize in 1954.
He devoted his time to peace and national reconciliation with less time for writing towards the end of his life, stating that his last wish was to see a peaceful and united country. He died on July 23, 1964 and was buried at the foot of the Shwedagon Pagoda.
