Fred Bremner's memoir is one of the very few in Raj photography. It tells the story of a man brought by fate and accident to India. In making the best of it, he left behind an irreplaceable photographic record of Balochistan, Kashmir and Frontier.

The expertly edited version by Hugh Ashley Rayner brings an autobiography lost lost to all but the most intrepid photography researchers.

"Orginally privately published in 1940, it gives a unique insight into the life of a professional photographer during the heyday of the British Raj in India."
