Notice, 11th September 1944

Notice issued by Apurba Kumar Chandra, the then Principal of Presidency College (now Presidency University) regarding the lecture of Vice-Admiral J. H. Godfrey, C. B., Flag Officer Commanding, Royal Indian Navy on 'The Royal Indian Navy - Present and Future'. During the final years of the Second World War, as the joint forces of INA and Japanese army started advancing towards India from the east, the British made desperate attempts to persuade the Indians to act as their collaborators. Army officials frequently visited Presidency during that time to deliver lectures on the on-going situation.
