    1. [INDIA-BRITISH-RAJ] a Simla property + Kakul
    2. Chris Woods
    3. Hallo everyone, My first visit to your fascinating forum. My late uncle served from 1917 to 1947 with the Indian Army, and in the early 1940s rented the ground floor of a house known as Padham Castle. His family lived there for a time and he recouperated there from illness encoutered during withdrawing from Burma with the 17th. I would be very interested if anyone knows anything about this property, supposedly then owned by a senior Indian, and if a photograph might be available. When recovered, he was posted to the R.I.A.S.C. school at Kakul, now in Pakistan. While I have some fine photographs of it's parade ground and of an occassion when the salue was taken by Auchinlec, I would again be interested in any information or photographs of Kakul itself. Thank you, Chris Norfolk UK
