Description
"Hunterpur women and children". Group portrait of women and children outside what is probably the Hunter Memorial Church where a number of Muslim converts worshiped. The Church was built in memory of Thomas Hunter (1827-1857) who was murdered with his family during the Indian Mutiny in 1857. Mr Hunter was the first Church of Scotland missionary to the Punjab and had only arrived in Sialkot that year. His successors, John Taylor (1837-1868) and Robert Paterson , would not arrive in Sialkot until 1860 and rapidly expand the field. The mission would open orphanages, girl’s schools, women’s hospitals and do zenana work in Sialkot and throughout the Punjab.
