My great grandfather, Frederick James Rowe, wrote the words of La Martiniere and I only discovered this during lockdown. Thank you for recording this. At the same time my wife's great grandfather, the Very Reverend James 'Daddy' Graham was founding his school in Kalimpong, Dr Graham's Homes. We will never know if they met but as Frederick Rowe wrote a widely used, in Indian schools, English language text book they may well have at least known of each other. David Rowe

How fascinating! It gives us Martinians great pleasure to know of your great grandfather through you. Coincidentally my wife attended Dr Graham's Homes in Kalimpong and how nice to know that your wife is Dr. Graham's great granddaughter. Indeed a small world. It will be good if we can be in touch, my email is excelmsvk@gmail.com, do drop me a line cheers Vive La Martiniere!

Dear David, this is a wonderful narrative. We are inheritors of a glorious school song penned by your great grandfather. His words are an integral part of the lives of all the students who have passed through the portals of this great school. If you do desire to visit Kolkata and the school, please do give us a shout
