He rose rapidly to the rank of Major General and also spent many years in the service of Shuja-ud-Daulah, the Nawab of Oudh. By the time of his death in September 1800, he had amassed property worth over half a million pounds sterling. So far, Claude Martin’s career reads

Oh, Brother! Here come Martinians
Oh, Brother! Here come Martinians June 4: They don’t pack the punch of Rajiv Gandhi’s Doscos but the Martinians from Calcutta may soon hit the quorum needed to form a cosy little political club in Delhi.

"What do you think is the one thing you’ll leave behind in La Martiniere once you’re gone?"
"I think I’ve spoken a lot about myself but I think my family has left a bit of a legacy behind in the sense that there were four children who were all Martinians. All four prefects. The two girls both prefect and vice captains, Lorraine and Lynnette. My son Lester was school captain and Leslie was school vice captain. Lester also got the Cambridge Blue Blazer. And also they were the two brothers who have won both the class ten as well as the class twelve - Best All Rounder Awards. Both won it both years. In a way its unique because these children were born and brought up here and they gave their best to the school and I think they took the best of the school with them and made use of it. I may leave but Lester and Leslie’s names are going to stay on The Role of Honours as long as La Martineire stands. So it’s really leaving the family name behind. It gives you an idea of what the school means to us. It’s not just been school but it’s been our home."
"Who were the teachers you looked up to when you joined school?"
"I was very young when I joined on campus. As a matter of fact, I was the youngest and I had about twenty five families living on campus with me and now I am the last of those families. We had a wonderful atmosphere in school. We had teachers who were masters of their subjects and wonderful human beings. Mr. R.N Mukherjee, Mr. M. Ali, Mr. 'Soccer' Sarkar, the great "buddy" Suares, who was the warden, athletics and boxing coach for thirty-three years! Mr. Allney, the principle. I had the greatest admiration for a teacher who died at the age of 43, Milford Hennesey. Milford Hennesey was one of the best English teachers I’ve ever seen or heard. One of the most talented human beings. He could play the guitar, he could play the Saxophone, he could sing, he acted. He was a blonde, tall and fair guy. He acted in Bengali movies. He was an excellent athlete and a national champion for hurdles. He was a swimmer who could complete the length of the pool in one dive and two strokes. I once saw him pull out a guy who got a cramp. We were sitting on the sides and the boy got a cramp and Milford got up, dived in and pulled him out with one hand. He was a brilliant gentlemen but sadly his illness got the better of him and he died on the 9th of March 1994. I admired him a lot."
“what is the toughest part about leaving school?”
“I’ll leave my heart behind. I love this school and I really have the greatest admiration for the students of La Martiniere. Somehow they are special. I found them special and I’ve taught different schools and I find the children here very talented. They were very talented. They still are but the numbers are decreasing. We have too many run of the mill kind of boys and parents. It sounds very blunt but the entire spirit of the school is slowly being lost.”
“How could we possibly get back that spirit?”
"It’s very difficult. A lot depends on the senior boys and a lot depends on the teachers. They both have to really believe that they belong to a great institution and once they have that feeling they will pass it on. The junior boys really look up to the big boys and they try and match standards, so the responsibility comes onto the senior boys to set those standards, especially the prefects. The prefects aren’t just monitors. They’re a vital links between the staff and the student body and now a days I see the prefects as mostly just monitors. A lot of traditions are dying. They need to start taking initiative.
Teaching can never be a nine to five job. There’s always something more. You share a mutual respect with the boys and then everything follows. I’ve learnt a lot. Experience is the best teacher. I was probably a good teacher when I started but now I can say that I’m a great teacher. One learns a lot. Teaching is a teaching-learning experience. The boys change. What are their interests now as compared to years back? And at the same time boys are boys. So as teachers you need to feel that sense of loyalty and also be open to learning new things. That’s what makes this profession great."
Mr. L. J. Gunnion,
Teacher.

This week was a great loss to the Martinian community with the passing of Mr. Noel Ritchie on January the 10th, 2013. The swagger, the baritone, his unwavering loyalty to old spice, and the impeccable delivery of Shakespeare in front of generations of Martinians will never be forgotten. Thank you, Sir Ritchie, a true gentleman and above all, the among the greatest Martinians ever. RIP.
