North-west India, June 1946, World War Two is over and there’s talk of partition. The British are still running India and control the Indian Army.
It’s Captain Tony Hartley’s 20th birthday and only he has remembered. The fates are against him for the day as he goes from one disaster to another and discovers that life can suddenly put you on a rollercoaster.
Feel the heat of India before the monsoon breaks; experience the history of India all the way back to the ‘Indian Mutiny’; smell the food from the cooking pots and feel the extremes of emotion as Tony Hartley navigates his birthday’s highs and lows.
Thik hai!
Roger Wildblood was born in 1926 and grew up in mid-Staffordshire. He was educated at Smallwood Manor and Denstone before finding his alma mater at Pembroke College, Oxford. His family were colour makers for the pottery industry.
Roger became a Chartered Accountant, married and had three children. Between school and university he went to India as a captain in the British Army, where he joined a training Battalion in Fatehgarh in north west India.
On his return to England, after university and qualifying as a chartered accountant, he worked in the family business and elsewhere. Then, later in life, he moved to Aberystwyth where he wrote Hartley’s Horse in the 1980s, drawing much of the story from his own time in India. Roger then returned to Staffordshire, where he currently lives.
