Dear Members,
Greetings!
The Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Alumni of Modern High School (AMHS) will be held
on Saturday, 20th April
at 3PM
in the School Shed.

Looking forward to your presence.

Exploring the Majestic Fort William, Kolkata:

The AMHS recently took part in the heritage walk, which began from the East Gate of Fort William.

Fort William was named after King William III. From the Black Hole of Calcutta to the Bose (Netaji) cell, Fort William has its own stories to tell and, through this heritage walk, the army aims at raising awareness on what lies beyond this strictly guarded and highly secure British-era military hold.

The guide, a soldier, first takes visitors to the ‘Vijay Smarak’ (war memorial) inaugurated by Lt Gen RN Batra in 1996.

After Vijay Smarak, visitors are taken to see the moat, a long and wide channel dug around a castle or a fort and usually filled with water to thwart enemies. Back during the British Raj, Fort William also had a similar system.

The next stop was the Kitchener House, which was constructed in 1771. A time gun is displayed here, which was used to send out signals to ships in the Hooghly river. It is still used as an officers’ mess.

The next stop on the tour was Dalhousie Barrack – a four-storied barrack – that houses more than 1,000 soldiers. It is said that in 1940, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose was brought here and this cell is kept the way it was as a mark of respect.

The next stop is the Command Museum, which was originally used to store weapons and ammunition.

The first gallery showcases all the army commanders who have served in the Eastern Command. The next gallery was dedicated to weapons. The gate of this weapon gallery is the first bulletproof door in Fort William. The next gallery was dedicated to the independence of Bangladesh and on display was an upside down flag of East Pakistan, and the instrument of surrender signed in 1971 by Lt Gen Jagjit Singh Arora and General AAK Niazi. The last gallery of the Command Museum also portrays art and culture of the Northeast.

The visitors were taken to the oldest church of Fort William, which now houses the Command Library. It has rare books and the oldest gun of Fort William is also placed outside this beautiful building.

Thank you for the overwhelming response for our Mega Reunion on the 16th of December, 'Celebrating 7 Glorious Decades' at School.
