This from a book I'm digitizing right now, relating to events late in WWII:

1 The first intimation of the Japanese withdrawal, which actually took place on 23rd April, was received on 1st May, when an aircraft flying low over Rangoon read in large letters on the gaol roof 'Japs gone! Exdigitate!' The ribaldry of the composers of the message (no doubt from the Royal Air Force) was perhaps a not inappropriate piece of sarcasm over the failure of our intelligence organisation to learn about this development.
