Excerpt from A Book of Knights Banneret, Knights of the Bath, and Knights Bachelor: Made Between the Fourth Year of King Henry Vi. And the Restoration of King Charles II., With the Arms Given in Cotton Ms. Claudius, From 1 King Henry VII. To 28 Queen Elizabeth, and Knights Made in Ireland, Between the Years 1566 and 1698 No attempt has been made to annotate further than by way of explaining discrepancies and correcting mistakes; my object has been rather to provide a book for present use, than to delay its production for possibly a lifetime, by the accumulation of genealogical and other notes.

John Travers Mends (Jack) Gibson was born on March 3, 1908 and died on October 23, 1994 at the age of 86.In some ways, Jack was the last Indian Englishman. He came ten years before independence and stayed on 47 years after it, rendering dedicated service to the country of his adoption for 57 years. Jack's journey started as a school teacher at The Doon School. He was the last English Principal of Mayo College and the last English President of the Himalayan Club. He was the last, and for most of the time the only English resident of Ajmer. He must have been just about the last Englishman to have been honored by both the British and Indian Governments.Brij Sharma is a journalist based in Bahrain. He spent much of his childhood and youth in Dehra Dun, and while not a product of The Doon School, he has known its campus, the surroundings of the city and much of the mountainous terrain described in Gibson's letters.http://www.jtmgibson.com
