Photographs by John Gill from his 1998 and 2000 visits to India
June 2000
John Gill
kindly sent us the following of his recent trip to India. He travelled
from the far west, Jaisalmer in Rajasthan to Margharita in
the east corner of Assam and included trips to Lucknow. Mussoorie,
Gauhati, Tezpur, and Shillong in Meghalaya.
John then travelled to South India from Gauhati to Trivandrum by train and returning to Delhi for his flight back to his home in the United Kingdom. His trip spanned eight weeks, and he had the good fortune to meet many old friends. He also made some new friends including our "Delhi Correspondent" Kailash Chaurasia.
John is currently working on his travel log book and trying to finish his recordings of the times he had on this trip, and he promises to give us a more detailed story of his travels soon. In the meantime I hope that you will find the following photos to aid your own personal memories.

These photos are shown below with some comments which we hope will be of interest to the members who served in the Jorhat and Darjeeling areas of North East India. There is no photograph to prove it, but there is now a bridge from Tezpur to the South Bank of the Bramaputra, suitable for all vehicular traffic.Click on the images below to enlarge and enter slideshow
