Image file: GL_Calc-StPauls_DSC02298.jpg

In memory of the great and good Sir Henry Montgomery Lawrence, KCB, christian statesman, philanthropist and soldier who in the Punjab Rajpootana and Oudh, taught how kindly subject races should be ruled; who first in India founded hill asylums for British soldiers children, and who fell in the memorable defence of Lucknow, 4th July 1857, beloved and mourned by natives and Europeans. As the monument he would have most desired, the community of Calcutta and Bengal, joined with that of Upper India in founding a Henry Lawrence Memorial Asylum for Soldiers Children, at Murree, in the hills of the Punjab; they also erect this tablet in the cathedral to keep among them his memory and example.
