James Johnstons letters from India!

These letters from From James Johnston show an insight into the lives of ordinary people, but in the vanished world of the British Raj. The pictures his letters draw are primarily domestic, but they contain information about India at that time particularly the tragic episode of the Indian Mutiny as well of personal tragedy in terms of the death of his first wife and subsequent re-marriage and new family with Letitia Rogers. However the story doesn’t completely end there, but rather continues to the killing fields of the Somme in 1916.
