Just outside the Colonial governor’s residence in Rajapur, a few hundred kilometers from Mumbai.. Dreadful place actually but they did have a decent officer’s mess and polo team. The battalion commander, Colonel Smythe-Carruthers was a wizard at snooker. Stout fellow. Bit of a boor though. What!?!!?! You didn't participate in tent pegging???
