M O B A R A K A B B A S I O F B A H A W A L P U R , A N D T H E M A H A R A J K U M A R O F B E N A R E S . Lord Willingdon has been Viceroy of India since 19 3 1, when he received his earldom.
As Governor of Bombay (19 13-19 ) and Governor of Madras (1919-24), he acquired an intimate knowledge of Indian affairs, and in 1924 he was Delegate for India at the
Assembly of the League of Nations. From 1926 to 19 31 he was Governor-General of Canada. He was born in i 860, the son of Mr. Frederick Freeman-Thomas, and in 1892 he married the Hon. Marie Adelaide, daughter of the first Earl Brassey, to whom (when
Governor of Victoria) he was A.D.C. in 1895. As Mr. Freeman-Thomas, he was M.P. (Liberal) for Hastings, 1900-06, and for the Bodmin Division of Cornwall, 1906-10. Lord Willingdon went to India as Viceroy at a difficult time, and his administration
has had excellent results. His term of office expires next April, when he will be succeeded by the Marquess of Linlithgow. On another page will be found a special message from his Excellency regarding this number of “ The Illustrated London News.” From a Photo graph b v Ki n s e y Br o t h e r s
