Notice, 19th November 1945

Notice issued by the then Principal of Presidency College (now Presidency University) regarding the lecture of Brigadier Kumarappa, the first Indian to be promoted to the Brigadier Rank, on the 'Future of the Indian Army' at the college. 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.
