George Gilbert in India
Written on back of first photo is motorised column in convoy from Rawalpindi to Khyber Pass, father driving one of vehicles . Bet they burnt out a few clutches on these. I would imagine a lot of double declutching as they climbed the pass. Second is father in pith helmet on train somewhere. He was lucky to be posted to India instead of trenches in France. Last one is father teaching Indians to drive. He told me they drove with bare feet which allowed him to rap them across the toes with his swagger stick if they pressed wrong pedal
