Item Description
The origin of the cover is impossible toascertain as the cancellations were applied at an angle and the location of the
town it was posted in is therefore missing. The cancellation is dated
Tuesday 13 December 1932, so is likely to have been carried on the weekly
Imperial Airways service which departed
Karachi
on Wednesday each week. Depending on the logistic of the cover arriving
in
Karachi it
would have been carried on the flight on Wednesday 14 December or Wednesday 21
December. The service normally arrived at
Croydon
Airport
the following Tuesday. Therefore the earliest the cover could have
arrived in the
UK
would have been 20th December.
James Wolston Young has served in the capacity
of Chief Minister of
Jodhpur
State between 9 July 1932
and 1934. The âReport On The Administration Of The Jodhpur State for the
year 1932-33â states in Chapter 1 (3) 14. âMr. J. W. Young, O.B.E., Acting Vice
President and Finance Official. Member, State Council, left for
England,
on November 5th, 1932, to attend the Third Session of the Round Table
Conference and returned on January 20th 1933.â
The UK National Archive site confirms that
Mr Young had died in 1934. The entry reads: âFile 279-P(S)/1934 Death of
Mr. J.W. Young,
Chief Minister
Jodhpur
State
and the question of appointment of his successor. Relaxation of Article 759,
C.S.R., in favour of Lt. Colonel D.M. Field in order to permit him to retire
voluntarily from British Service and to continue in the service of the Jodhpur
Stateâ.
He was a founder member of the Himalayan
Club and its first Honorary Treasurer. The obituary is contained in The
Himalayan Journal, Volume 7, published in 1935:
âPeter Young, as he was
known to his friends, was a son of the late B. J. Young of
Richmond
Park,
Sheffield, and was born on the 18th September
1885. He was educated at
Stonyhurst
College, . 1 ml then went
to
South Africa.
In 1909 he entered the Indian Audit and Accounts Service and was posted to
Bihar. During the Great War he was at Simla, working
under Sir Bhupendra Nath Mitra, (he present High Commissioner for
India, in the
Military Finance Department; and he was made an O.B.E. for his services. After .mother
short period of duty in Bihar, he was lent to
Jodhpur
State,
where he spent the last ten years of his life. As Accountant-General, as
Finance Member of the State Council, and finally as Chief Minister, he was a
watchful guardian of the Stateâs resources and a prudent administrator who had
the complete confidence of the Durbar. He was adviser to the Indian Statesâ
Delegation at the second and third sessions of the Round Table Conference, when
his knowledge of State finance, his caution and good sense were of great value.
Returning to India, he was
seriously ill and was forced to go back to England
again in the spring of 1934 for an operation which his devotion to duty and the
interests of
Jodhpur
had dangerously postponed. He died after the operation on the 23rd May.
Young was not a mountaineer in the technical
sense, but he enjoyed a trek through mountain country. He was a Founder Member
of the Himalayan Club, its first Honorary Treasurer, and a member of an
informal committee which met at Simla in the summer of 1928 to draft the Rules
and Articles of Association. The Club was fortunate to have in its early days a
financial adviser of his quality, and will remember him with gratitude.â
Young had been in London In
December 1932 as a member of the
Jodhpur
delegation at the Indian Round Table Conference Third Session which ran from
17th November 1932 until 24th December 1932. He had also attended the
Second Session between September and December 1931.
