Lord Mountbatten

  • 1948 Lord Mountbatten resigns as Governor General of India (formerly the last Viceroy) on June 21st.
One of my earliest memories. He came to our house (because it was the vicarage,) and was given a tour of the church ( the oldest Church of England church in the British Empire, outside of Britain, that is.)
With a historic graveyard featuring Job Charnok's grave. The founder of Calcutta.
