EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past of the Lawrence Military Asylum at Sanawar, situated near the picturesque hill station of Kasauli (also known as Kussowlie) in India. The image, taken in the late 19th century, around 1867, depicts a group of British girls at play within the school's grounds. The Lawrence Military Asylum was established in 1847 to provide education and care for the children of British soldiers and civilians stationed in India. The principal of the school during the 1930s was Hilary Evans, whose father held this esteemed position. The girls in the photograph appear to be enjoying a carefree moment, their laughter echoing through the lush, green landscape. The military influence is evident in the uniforms they wear, adding a touch of structure and discipline to their playtime. The Lawrence Military Asylum at Sanawar holds a significant place in history, having been established during the British Raj era. It was one of the few institutions that catered to the educational needs of British children in India, providing them with a stable and nurturing environment amidst the challenges of living in a foreign land. The school's rich heritage continues to be celebrated, with many of its alumni contributing to various fields and making their mark on history. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the lives of British children growing up in India during the late 19th century. The innocence and joy portrayed in the image stand in stark contrast to the challenges and hardships faced by the children and their families during their time in India. The Lawrence Military Asylum at Sanawar remains an important piece of both Indian and British educational history.
