In the days of Empire, thousands of British men and women spent their lives in India. The men found active employment in the Army, the police or Civil Service, in the Law or in commerce, banking, the railways or industry. The vast majority of these one-time inhabitants of India have left little evidence of their own careers and of the lives of the women, children and families who shared their experience of life under 'the raj'. This book records the history of one such family.
