The Robertsons and Darjeeling

My grandfather, George Patrick Robertson, was municipal engineer in Darjeeling, India. Sadly his life was cut short in 1914 when he drowned in an accident in the Teesta River. A keen photographer, (you see, it's been running in our family for a LONG time!) he left a lot of photos, some of which will appear here in due course.

My thanks to Barun Roy in Darjeeling for encouraging me to do this. Apparently GP Robertson is held in high esteem over there, as one of the 'founding fathers'. I feel quite humbled!
