From The Diplomatic Bag

From The Diplomatic Bag

By: William McDowell

I was born on 21 September 1911 inRawalpindi, then in British India, but today in Pakistan. My father, William Alexander McDowell, had been born in Dundee, Scotland, in 1888 and had served with the Black Watch regiment in the Boer War and later in India. In 1908, he married Alice Maud Bell in Quetta, Baluchistan in the North WestFrontierProvince. My father had been demobilised in Indiaand had joined the North Western Railway as a ireman/driver in the Punjab, but was later recalled to the Black Watch when war broke out in 1914. He was travelling by train from Rawalpindito Karachien route to the troop ship which would take him to the war front when he contracted ptomaine poisoning. He died and was buried in the Presbyterian cemetery Kotri, Sind. [download]
