| Wrong Durrell in box at bottom right. |
Lawrence Durrell, who was born in India,
attended the Jesuit-run St Joseph's School at North Point in Darjeeling for two years, 1921-22, before coming
to England to continue his education.
But it seems St Joseph's knows nothing about
this and has instead honoured Gerald Durrell as the 'well known author' among its North Point alumni. Gerry, however, left India in
1928 when he was three; he never went to St Joseph's. It is nice to know that Jesuits sometimes get things wrong.
