A PASSAGE TO INDIA

Оглавление


Standing up in front of a live audience, Tony pins a large white sheet of paper to his easel. ‘Tell me when you know what this is!’ he says with a smile. In the centre of the paper with a fine black marker pen, he draws a martini glass, then two circles resembling black olives above it. ‘Any idea?’ he asks. ‘Triangle! Wineglass! Spaceship!’ His audience, enthusiastic but inaccurate, shout their suggestions.

‘Let’s see if this helps you.’ Tony adds a blob of black to the base of the martini glass along with a couple of curved lines, then two more curves to the ‘olives’ above it, and then several straight lines, three or four each side of the stem of the glass. ‘Now can you see what it is?’ he asks. ‘A face!’ yells one youngster. ‘You’ve got it!’ says Tony with a grin, ‘But the face of what?’ ‘Cat! Mouse! Picasso! Hamster!’ The audience roars their ideas, multitudinous and colourful.

Tony selects a broad marker pen that is beginning to run out of ink. ‘I like this one,’ he tells his audience, ‘because it gives you a soft, smudgy line.’ He begins to add soft, broad lines radiating out from the martini glass, then more below it. The audience watches with breathless anticipation as he adds more lines until a voice shouts out ‘Tiger!’ And so it is.


With a war going on, and his schooldays behind him, there was never any question about my father joining one of the forces. His father had served in the army during World War I and was keen for Tony to follow him. But, at 18 years old, beguiled by the glamour of the Royal Air Force and determined to join in the war as a rear gunner, Tony made his way to London to attend an interview and medical for the RAF.

The interview went fine and my father endured the minor indignities of a thorough physical examination, with the last two tests being for hearing and eyesight. While sitting in the Medical Officer’s sterile office, the doctor peered into my father’s ears and then asked him to repeat what he said: ‘Wild horses,’ he muttered, almost inaudibly. ‘Wild horses,’ repeated my father. ‘Peppermint,’ he barely whispered. ‘Peppermint.’ repeated my father. Then Tony strained to hear the next words. ‘Father Christmas!’ he said. The doctor looked at him in amazement. ‘But I haven’t said it yet!’ he exclaimed. With what seemed to be extra-sensory hearing, Tony submitted to the last test of all, on his eyesight – and failed. One eye was not up to scratch. ‘I’m sorry,’ he was told, ‘but we cannot pass you for flight.’ There were, they told him, plenty of desk jobs in the RAF where they were sure he would do very well, but for my father it was aircrew or nothing. Fighting back tears, he left the building and groped his way to a telephone box to call his father. ‘Thank God!’ exclaimed Norman when he heard the news. ‘Let me get on to Brigadier Ponting straight away, and get you sorted you out with the Indian Army.’

When World War I had broken out in 1914, Tony’s father had immediately volunteered for service, and was enrolled in the Royal West Kents as a PE instructor. All too soon most of his compatriots were sent to France, but the authorities would not let Norman go with them. ‘We need you here,’ he was told, ‘to train up the new recruits and get them fit for combat.’ Although he was longing to join in the war, good fortune was watching over Norman by keeping him in England, for hardly any of his fellows came back from the trenches of northern France. Eventually, the Royal West Kents let Norman go to India where he found himself training Gurkhas, the tough, courageous soldiers from Nepal. He liked them, and he liked India. The remaining war years saw him in action on the North-West Frontier and he stayed on afterwards, eventually returning home to Maidstone in 1921. As a boy of about six, my father liked nothing more on a Sunday morning than to fling himself into his parents’ big bed and say, ‘Tell me about India, Daddy.’

It was obvious that with the RAF ruled out, the next best thing for Tony was the Indian Army. Their recruiting base was in Maidstone, Tony’s home town, so he spent some eight months in training at home before, aged 20, setting sail for India in 1945 on one of the big passenger liners commandeered by the forces. The young men at the training base came from all different backgrounds, and my father remembers some of them laughing at him and calling him a toff because he wore pyjamas to bed – he also remembers some of them sobbing into their pillows at night and calling for their mothers. My father, of course, had come to terms with homesickness at a much younger age.

Tony came through the training pretty much unscathed, although one of his friends had a very difficult time. This particular officer cadet always seemed to fall foul of the Regimental Sergeant Major. No matter what he did, there was always something at fault – his belt or boots weren’t highly polished enough, his hat was on at the wrong angle – there was always something. This young man had acquired a very old regimental cap, and on the cap badge, which depicted a lamb carrying a flag, all the detail of the lamb’s fleece had been worn completely smooth. By giving it a good polish, the badge stood out, shining like a star. One morning, determined to get everything perfect to impress his RSM, the cadet had been meticulous in his appearance – and the gleaming cap badge was the jewel in his personal crown. He stood in line with the others while the RSM strode slowly past the men, paused and then returned to stand in front of the young cadet. He looked him up and down and up again where his eyes came to rest on the smooth, gleaming cap badge. He took a step forwards, bringing his face within inches of the unfortunate cadet. ‘Mr Smith, Sah!’ he blared, ‘have you ever seen a lamb with no fleece?’ Unable to bear it, the young cadet replied half laughing, half crying, ‘No Sergeant Major, but have you ever seen a lamb carrying a flag?’

The voyage to India was uneventful. The sleeping quarters in the cargo hold were hardly luxurious, but each man had a hammock, which proved to be perfectly comfortable. The ship finally docked at Bombay, and my father’s first year was spent at the Indian Military Academy at Dehra Dun in the foothills of the Himalayas. A letter to his parents dated 26 November 1945 paints a vivid and entertaining picture of those last days of the Raj just before Partition. He writes mainly about three characters – his great friend and an officer cadet like himself, an Indian called Sat (pronounced Sart), Sat’s father, Colonel Marya, and Mac – another British officer cadet. Due a short leave, he and Mac had gone to spend it with Sat at his home in Patiala in the Punjab, and he wrote the following about his first impressions:

‘If only I’d been able to get a film. I can’t describe the beautiful buildings they have there, Patiala is a very clean place and the buildings in the Gardens and in the Mall (where we lived) are of lovely eastern architecture and white, and in some cases salmon pink. In the sunlight they look pretty good – then there is the sacred pool and the Sikh Temple, all lovely, and very different from a place like DD [Dehra Dun], which is full of Europeans. In Patiala we didn’t see a white man or woman for the whole time we were there.’

On their first evening in Patiala, they went out on the town.

‘That evening, Col Marya took Mac and I to the Club where we were introduced to many of the “high-ups” including a Prince, he was a Rajah, and one of the present Maharajah’s step-brothers, he was a Sikh and very pleasant. He told us about the old Maharajah who was evidently a bit of a lad, had 365 wives, and a few hundred cars – Daimlers. We saw the cars – they had been given to the State as taxis. We didn’t see the wives. Just as well, they’d probably be a bit long in the tooth by now. Mac, quite innocently, asked “why 365 wives?” whereupon we all coughed like blazes and discussed the lovely climate.’

Although the letter is over 60 years old, it could have been written by anyone travelling today – remarking on the areas where the tourists hadn’t yet penetrated, and with the rather coy reference to the Maharajah’s sexual proclivities dressed down for the benefit of the parents.

Tony was surprised and delighted by the obvious affection Sat’s family had for each other. When they first arrived at Sat’s family home, Colonel Marya came out to greet them, and Sat made the traditional formal greeting to his father. In his letter, Tony writes: ‘When Sat saw his father, he went on his knees and kissed his feet, this sounds rather funny of course but it was rather lovely really. They have these customs and stick to them very strictly.’ Sat’s mother and sisters stayed behind a beaded curtain, and Sat went to them after greeting his father and was kissed and embraced by them all, but out of sight of their guests.

That first night, there was a large gathering for the evening meal to celebrate Sat’s return home, and Tony hugely enjoyed all the curry, dhal and rice that was offered to him. The company, which was of course all male, sat cross-legged in a large circle on the floor helping themselves from the fragrantly spiced dishes that were placed in the centre, eating from their plates with their fingers and using chapatis to wipe up the delicious sauces. At the end of the meal, each man belched loudly in turn, signifying his approval of the feast. Perfectly capable of belching to order (a skill I must confess to having inherited), my father waited for his turn, and after the man seated beside him had belched, Tony produced a long and spectacular burp. The assembled company looked at him appalled. Tony looked askance at Sat who was trying not to laugh. ‘It is correct for us to do this thing,’ he explained, ‘but very bad manners for you!’

Tony found, like his father, that he very much liked India and its people and their ways, and got on well with both his fellow British officers and his Indian counterparts who numbered both Sikhs and Hindus. He was both interested in and respectful of the different religions of his Indian friends. He particularly liked the Sikhs who were proud and warlike, and, when he shared a hut with one, he watched the ritual cleansing of the long hair and the binding of it into its turban with fascination.

At this time, the war in Europe had just ended, but there was much religious unrest in India. India had been the jewel in the crown of the British Empire for some considerable time but was now demanding her independence – further adding to the unrest. Very quickly my father became a junior officer, and was put through rigorous training which, he told me, included climbing a rope using only his arms with both legs held out straight in front of him and a full pack on his back. (I tried this myself in the gym at school without a pack on my back – hopeless!) He was 20 years old, and soon became very fit.

To go with his own newly acquired physique, Tony thought a narrow moustache would add a dashing touch. For some days he refrained from shaving his upper lip, and eventually some downy ginger fluff began to appear. One morning out on the parade ground, the Sergeant Major strutted past the line of young officers, swagger stick tucked under his arm. He passed Tony, stopped, turned round and came back. He peered into my father’s face, walked slowly all round him, and came back to the front. ‘Mr Hart, Sah!’ he roared. Standing to attention, Tony stared straight ahead, wondering what was coming. ‘Ruddy marigold, Sah!’ bellowed the Sergeant Major, and strutted on down the line. At the next available opportunity, the fledgling moustache came off.

Once a month, there was a ritual in which my father, who was by then a captain, as the most senior British officer on duty always took part. Set slightly apart from the main camp within the compound, there was a wooden hut set at the top of a flight of steps. In this hut was a large cauldron, the contents of which were lovingly tended by one of the native Indians. On the appropriate day, my father would be roused by the Company Subedar-Major – the Indian military equivalent of a British RSM – and told, ‘It is time, Sahib, you must be coming now.’ Tony would put down the book he had been reading, and follow him out into the compound.

As they walked towards the hut, other Indian soldiers would appear in shorts and singlets, holding bits of cloth or sticks and grinning. ‘Very well,’ my father would say, ‘but are all these people necessary?’ ‘They may be useful, Sahib,’ would come the reply, and they would walk up the steps into the hut followed by everyone else. The cauldron was full of rakshi – a local home-brewed spirit that, if consumed in its raw state, would undoubtedly render a man blind and insane within moments. The dilution of the brew and its tasting was a ritual which had to be followed.

As the senior officer present, my father would be given the first taste in an old tin mug – which would have been brought by one of the soldiers. The mug would be wiped with a bit of cloth that had been brought by another, and then the contents of the cauldron would need to be stirred with a stick – which had been brought by yet another soldier. Tony would be given a brimming mug of the rakshi, which he had to empty and pronounce it good, and then invite the Subedar-Major to try it too. But of course, the Subedar-Major could not drink alone, so Tony would have to have another slug of the stuff. In strict order of rank, everyone would have to drink some; next, the man who had been tending the brew all month would have to try it – but of course not alone, and so the Subedar-Major would have to join him and so would my father. Then the soldier who had bought the mug would have to taste it – and so would the brewer, and so would the Subedar-Major and so would my father. Then the soldier who bought the cloth would have to taste it as well – and so would the soldier who bought the mug, the brewer, the Subedar-Major, and my father, now on his fifth mug. Finally, the soldier who had bought the stick would also have to try it – and so would the man who brought the cloth, and the man who brought the mug, and the brewer, and the Subedar-Major, and of course my father. The ritual complete to the satisfaction of everyone involved, my father would then attempt to walk smartly down the steps and back to his own hut – which he never achieved with the dignity he would have liked.

My father enjoyed alcohol, there is no doubt, and although not an excessive drinker, he did go over the top from time to time. In his letter recounting his trip to Sat’s home in Patiala, he writes:

‘I went on two shooting expeditions, I only got pigeon, partridge and plover, but we were after black buck and sambar, a type of deer. We used an old battered car with a high power Rolls-Royce engine, and chased these deer all over the Punjab! It was on the second of these shoots that I made my one mistake on leave. Coming back at 6pm, it got a bit chilly and old Gurbaix Singh passed around the whisky! Need I say more? The trouble was, I’d been invited to a wedding feast that night and when I did get there, I wasn’t quite myself. Mac was very good and saw that I behaved, but I felt awful, I knew jolly well I was tight, so I tried to be very natural but that made it worse. Mac said I was talking much too carefully, it must have been most amusing. I vaguely remember having to take my shoes off and sit cross-legged on the floor – a socking great leaf was put in front of me and weird and wonderful concoctions dolloped into it.’

The first few months in India in the Indian Military Academy at Dehra Dun passed swiftly and peacefully, with one notable exception: my father and a number of officer cadets encountered a group of people in the town whose less than friendly attitude baffled them completely. Having been used to being acknowledged in a sociable way by the Indians as they made their way through the streets, the cadets could not understand why these people were spitting at them and shouting insults. It was only when the insults escalated to pushing and shoving and a scuffle was on the verge of breaking out that Tony realised that they had been mistaken for the INA – the Indian National Army, a guerilla operation whose main aim was to overthrow the British in colonial India. Pointing frantically to the initials ‘IMA’ on his uniform, Tony managed to communicate his identity to the potential troublemakers, and peace was thankfully restored with much grinning and hand-shaking.

Once he’d completed his training in the IMA, Tony joined the 1st Gurkha Rifles, a regiment whose toughness had long distinguished itself as a fighting force. The British had first encountered the Nepalese Gurkhas more than a century before when they were fighting against them. So impressed were they with their fighting prowess that the British began to recruit the Gurkhas as mercenaries, eventually forming dedicated Gurkha regiments within the British Indian Army.

As part of his uniform, each 1st Gurkha Rifles officer was issued with a kukri, a curved knife, which came in its own special case together with two little skinning knives. Tony was taught how to draw the kukri from its case, whirling it high in the air around his wrist, before bringing it up short against the throat of his enemy. The purpose of the whirling, flashing blade was to confuse his opponent so that he could not tell which angle it was coming from, and was therefore impossible to block. To the end of his days, my father’s kukri hung on the wall by the inglenook fireplace of his home, and many were the times the blade whistled past my neck as he demonstrated to interested visitors how the knife was drawn.

Only once did he have to use his kukri in earnest – not, I hasten to add, against another human being. He had been invited to a feast, and was given the dubious privilege of beheading the goat that was to be the main course. It was considered a great honour and it would have been terrible to refuse; and although he knew the theory of how this should be done, Tony was terrified of making a botch of it. The base of the blade of the kukri is thick and heavy, and it tapers to a razor-sharp edge. At the appointed time, my father presented himself, kukri in hand, to meet the goat. The animal’s head was pulled forwards, and Tony took a firm stance, feet apart, and raised the kukri high. He swept it down with enough force that the thick base of the blade smashed through the top of the spinal column, then drew the blade through so that the sharp edge swept through the stringy tendons and flesh of the neck. It was neatly done, and my father hopes the animal didn’t know too much about it. The curried goat served later at the feast was, he said, superb.

For the most part, Tony’s time in India was hugely enjoyable. He had visions of pursuing a career in the military, becoming a crusty old colonel sporting a watery eye and a legendary moustache. He went hunting and spent a night up a tree with a gun watching for a panther that had been killing the local livestock. He kept a monkey as a pet, and got himself a job as a reporter for the military newsletter, which meant he was invited to every party, dance or ball going. He remembered how, at a formal ball, the women would wear white while the men provided the colour with their dress uniforms.

He was soon drafted into the concert party, appearing in plays put on to entertain the men. His Commanding Officer’s wife also took part in these amateur dramatics, and he found himself on one occasion playing a scene where his character was required to kiss her. She was a naughty girl who took full advantage of the scene and could have led him astray, but he held his CO in high regard and did not, so to speak, rise to the challenge. His CO, I might add, eventually divorced his flighty wife.

But Tony’s time in India was not all fun and games. It was 1947, and Partition was looming. There was unrest between the different faiths all over the country, particularly in the Punjab, which was populated mainly by Sikhs. My father’s unit was called into Nagpur – which translates from Urdu as ‘snake town’ – to quell a riot. This in itself was not unusual, as the unit was often called out for this purpose, but generally they would reach the trouble spot to find the riot had already melted away. On this occasion, however, it had not. The unit of 1st Gurkha Rifles arrived on the scene, with Captain Hart in tow, aged all of 22, to find a large and angry crowd shouting and hurling missiles. In the dry, shimmering heat, the chief ringleader could be seen moving around in the background, encouraging the others to more violence, but keeping himself behind the women and children.

The CO was quick to assess the state of affairs, and knew the best way to defuse the situation causing the least injury or loss of life was to remove the ringleader – immediately and permanently. He called my father across, and asked him if he had a marksman in his unit. Although Tony was an excellent shot himself, there was another, better marksman among his men. He carried the orders from the CO to his marksman, telling him that if he could get a clear shot at the ringleader, to take him out. Cool as a cucumber, the marksman took aim with his rifle, waited until he was sure of his target, and fired. The man dropped dead instantly. For a moment all was confusion, then, with no one to direct the rioters, the crowd rapidly thinned. The remaining few who might have shown a last surge of defiance, when faced with the Gurkha unit ranked up, rifles cocked and aimed, quickly dissolved like smoke. But although my father had not fired the shot himself, by carrying the verbal order from the CO to his marksman, he felt a real responsibility for the loss of this unknown man’s life.

Back in the mess, Tony, who was in some state of shock, was encouraged to have a drink, a natural reaction and a very good idea. Port was the drink in question, and the officers drank a great deal of it – and on this occasion saw to it that Tony drank even more. The result was that in due course my father was carried to his sleeping quarters, a hut with a small veranda, deposited outside his door and left to sleep it off. The next morning, he awoke on his veranda accompanied by a headache to end all headaches and a pile of vomit which had dried out in the morning sun – the first of only two experiences in his life where a few hours of his existence were completely lost to him through alcohol. The second was not to occur until some years later when he was out of the army and had embarked on his career as a television artist.

My father was generally pretty healthy, but whenever he did become ill it was never with anything trivial. As a young child of about ten, he contracted rheumatic fever, which confined him to his bed, flat on his back for six weeks. It was summertime, and a mirror was placed on the wall in his bedroom to reflect the garden through the window so he could watch his younger brother playing outside. Later in India, he withstood dysentery, which attacked some of his comrades, but succumbed to malaria. He remembers standing to attention in immaculate uniform, on parade, out in the blazing sun and feeling pretty crummy. It seemed to him that a blackness was closing in all round the periphery of his vision. Fascinated, he watched the blackness increase until all that was left to him was a tiny circle of vision, like looking down a gun barrel. Finally, that too disappeared, and, straight as a ramrod, he fell forwards flat on his face.

He woke up in the local hospital, and dimly remembers wanting an apple, and being most unreasonable about it. His CO came to visit him, and found himself confronted by an almost hysterical Captain Hart who was crying deliriously, ‘But all I want is an apple!’ Aware that the young officer was not quite himself, the CO patted my father soothingly on the shoulder and said, ‘Look here old boy, we can’t get you any apples, and you’re upsetting the rest of the ward. Just be a good chap and shut up and eat what they give you. You’ll soon be better.’

Sure enough, Tony was soon back on his feet, but a few years later, back home in England, he went to donate some blood. He had been hooked up to his tube with the needle, and the blood was dripping nicely into a bag while a doctor was off-handedly asking him if he’d ever had typhoid – no. Yellow fever? No. Malaria? Yes. ‘Can’t use this then,’ said the doctor and pulled out the needle from Tony’s arm. They didn’t pour my father’s blood down the sink; instead it went on to the rose bed outside.

Shortly before he left India for what was to be the last time, Tony got into trouble. After spending some time at the bar in the mess, he and some other young officers wheedled a Norton motorcycle out of supplies one Friday night, promising to return it first thing on the Monday. They then took it into the town and, in the main street, decided to see how many people they could get on it. At the first attempt, my father couldn’t control the bike and they all fell off, so they tried again. My father would have like to say that there were nine people on the bike but thinks it was probably seven. Roaring with laughter and shouting encouragement to each other, the fledgling 1st Gurkha Rifles motorcycle display team wobbled its way down the main street. Of course the incident was reported to the Commanding Officer, and my father was given a serious dressing down and his long leave home cancelled. It seems severe for what appeared to be nothing more than a high-spirited prank, but the mood in India at that time was volatile and anti-British – English officers needed to be seen as the epitome of dignity and self-control.

By this time, Tony had acquired a girlfriend, Pamela, who was Anglo-Indian and very beautiful. Her grandmother was Indian and her English father ran the ice plant in Madras. The motorcycle incident having left him feeling humiliated and rather foolish, Tony avoided the Officers’ Mess, and spent most of his free time with Pamela. One evening three weeks later, when he did venture into the Mess, he ran into one of his friends who clapped him on the back and congratulated him. ‘What for?’ asked Tony in bewilderment. ‘Look at the board!’ he was told. So he dutifully went to look at the board, which listed the names of those officers who had been selected to go home on long leave – and saw his name on the list. Then he saw the date he was due to go – it was the very next day! He tore into the town to say a heartbreaking goodbye to Pamela, and the next morning he grabbed his friend, and the two of them raced around to gather his kit together and get all the necessary paperwork signed. All went swimmingly with every senior officer available to sign off the appropriate forms until they went to get a signature from the Medical Officer pronouncing him fit to travel. He was not there, and Tony needed to be on his way. Nothing daunted, his friend signed the medical form for him.

Tony then travelled some 200 miles by train to Deolali, a large transit camp where soldiers travelling back to England were assembled, and the last port of call before heading off to Bombay. The CO at Deolali checked through the papers and when he got to the medical form, he raised an eyebrow and showed him the signature. Tony looked at it and his heart sank – his friend had signed the name ‘D. Duck’. Regarding him frigidly, the CO told him to go all the way back and get all the documentation done again. Gloomily, Tony travelled back on the train, and had to sit it out for a week while he waited for the paperwork to be signed. Bored to tears, he visited the local cinema every evening to see the same film – Blithe Spirit. It was a good film but, after seven consecutive viewings, not one he ever felt the urge to see again.

Having already said his goodbyes to Pamela, my father had not let his girlfriend know that he was back in town, thinking it would be too painful. On his last day, however, one of his friends had let her know that he was back. Tony had already boarded the train standing at the station ready to head back to Deolali, and was leaning out of the window talking to another officer. The train slowly started to move. Just as it began to pull out of the station, my father glanced back down the train to find himself looking straight at Pamela who had just come on to the platform. She ran down the length of the train and, running alongside, she reached up to take his hand. All too quickly the train gathered speed, forcing her to release her hold. Gazing at each other as the train pulled away, he watched her figure recede into the distance, unaware that he would never see her again.

From Bombay, he spent five weeks sailing to Liverpool on a banana boat, the Ascanious, travelling with another 1st Gurkha Rifles officer known to all as ‘Fairy’ Gopsill. As always seems to be the case with anyone who has a nickname like Lofty or Tiny, there was no one broader, taller or more masculine than Fairy. Fairy was travelling back to England bound for Buckingham Palace where he was due to receive a medal for bravery. I asked my father what he had done. ‘He never said,’ he told me. I later found out that Fairy had been awarded the Military Cross – a decoration issued to warrant and junior officers of the army for exemplary gallantry in the presence of the enemy on land. On pressing Fairy more than 60 years later for more information, all he would tell me, with modesty equalling his bravery, was that he had been decorated for ‘one or two actions in Indo-China’.

From Liverpool, my father travelled by train to London, then across to Victoria Station where he got on the wrong train and found himself in one of the Medway towns. Rather than waste time telephoning his parents, he jumped on a bus for Maidstone, walked through the town and up the hill, through the gate and up the garden path. Hearing a knock at the front door, my grandmother opened it to find herself staring at her elder son, who she had not seen for more than two years.

Any young man returning home after a few years away will have changed in some ways. To travel to India before the age of the jet would have been a rite of passage in itself, but to travel there and take part in conflict must have brought about some changes to a young person – some good, some bad. For my father, it brought an increased sense of duty, of honour and of pride in his country together with a deep interest in the people and places of other lands. It taught him to be respectful towards his superior officers while also being comfortable with those of both higher and lower rank than himself, and with those from different cultures. Fairy Gopsill described him as having an enormous sense of fun and a lightness of touch in any conversation – they all loved him. And of course he would draw cartoons to make them laugh. Had he not spent this time in India, he would undoubtedly have developed the same charming and enthusiastic personality but without the broader view, and without the discipline and attention to detail that he learned in the military and applied to everything he undertook thereafter in his professional career as an artist.
