KEY SELLING POINTS
A book in three parts: a personal memoir of the author, an essay on the life and bloodline of Jesus and
finally the history of five brother all serving in India in the 19th Century.
A combination of family history as well as an exploration by the author on the culture of occult philosophy.

Scottish families particularly those from Inverness were drawn to serve in the East India Company and the three
Presidencies of British India.

By choosing this path young men sought adventure, wealth and love. If they were strong, lucky and healthy they
sometimes found it. They certainly discovered that they needed language skill, bravery and perseverance.
Furthermore, without influential backing they must not allow frustration to disturb their charted course.

From the dry plains to the enchanting vistas of the snow-covered mountains, easily visible from sixty miles or
more, this book covers the personal stories of five brothers and covers such diverse topics as the Indian
Mutiny, the Crimea and life in Kharachi.

John Baillie entered the Royal Naval College, Dartmouth in 1947 and subsequently became a naval aviator. In
1967 he qualified as a cost and works accountant and later worked as a merchant banker. This took him into
the oil business, and he lived in Aberdeen for twenty-eight years. He and his wife moved to Germany in 2002.
