Dad, kept a descriptive and photographic diary of his travels and I am priviledged to retain this, today.

At the back, thereof - He included the following writing by the late G. S. Hutchinson [ I cannot find further internet reference to him, unfortunately. ]

Please visit wikipedia, for an explanation of the " then used term, contained in this article."      sweating coolies.
