Description (What the record is about)
-
Theophilus, "Fire in Peshawur: A Reminiscence" - photocopied pages from Indian State Railways Magazine (pp. 269-73, year not indicated). Amongst the five photographs accompanying the article, is a portrait of Eniquez ("Lieut. Theophilus") taken in 1912.
Extract from opening paragraph: "A few months ago there was a bad fire in the city of Peshawur. Peshawur is particularly susceptible to these conflagrations of which there have been several during the past ten or fifteen years ... but memory carries me back now a bit further than that to the year 1912 when fire raged for three whole days and nights and wiped out nearly a third of the buildings in one splendid but terrible holocaust."
