Childhood in the Jungles of India

Desmond Harwood's earliest memory is coming face to face with a tiger which killed two children.
Born in 1922, Desmond's childhood was one of a difference.
When he was three, his family moved to Southern Ireland where Desmond's first memory is of sailing across the sea.
He said: "I can remember holding onto my mother's hand and being terrified to walk past the Funnel, in case it went off."
The family moved to India in 1928 where six-year-old Desmond began his education at a military boarding school in the mountains.
His education was of a high standard, but it came at a price.
He said: "The discipline was very harsh and we were ruled by the cane.
"We washed in cold water and ate goat curry, it was most unpleasant."
Dense jungle surrounded the family home and Desmond regularly saw leopards and tigers.
He remembers one encounter in particular.
He said: "I was standing next to a window and I could hear snuffling, I looked up and was face to face with a 13 foot long tiger.
"I was glad the window was between us."
The tiger was later shot and found to have eaten two children.
After an earthquake destroyed their possessions in 1935, the family were forced to return to England as refugees.
Desmond then began working for British Telecom as an engineer, saving him from national service.
During his career, Desmond worked alongside men, women and machinery, which he says are nowadays, replaced by unmanned computers.
Since the development of the microchip Desmond believes our world has been changed for the better.
He said: "We have now arrived at the information age, making the world a global village, and a much smaller place.
"It remains to be seen if we can make the most of it."
