Hi Harsh: Thank you very much for forwarding the info re: Geoge Orwell's birthplace. I have read tried to read everything that George Orwell wrote. On returning from Burma after a 5 year stretch with the Imperial Police he worked as a reporter in England and wrote many articles about social conditions both in England and France. I think these books and articles are much more interesting that "Nineteen Eighty-four" and "Animal Farm" - the ones that made him famous. A few weeks ago you forwarded to the British Raj a group photograph of George Orwell and his fellow officers in the Imperial Police in Burma. He was identified as there third officer from the left. I think this is an error - I am pretty certain he was the second officer from the left. I m sorry I didn't write then and let you know.
