Description
“Jammu, India, Prince is visiting it”. Landscape view showing open country and the buildings of Jammu rising up in the distance. Jammu is known as ‘the city of temples’ and is the winter capital of Jammu and Kashmir. Access to the capital was restricted until talks ensued with Prince Amar Singh and the Maharaja which allowed for the opening of a public school. Hari Singh was superintendent of the mission and John F W Youngson (1852-1920) was the Church of Scotland minister. Youngson would later become Moderator of the General Assembly, Presbyterian Church, India (1905-6) and have the town of Youngsonabad named in his honour.
