Description: | Harmeet Lehal was born in Burma in 1929 while his father was working as an engineer for the British government there.
He and his family escaped from Burma before the Japanese advance during Second World War. They returned to India, where Harmeet finished his education.
Harmeet was interested in engineering and studied at college in India. Then he joined the British Institute of Electrical Engineers, there being no equivalent professional body in India at that time. To become fully affiliated with the Institute, Harmeet came to London to finish his studies before going home.
As Harmeet recalls in this extract, circumstances forced him to change his plans. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Migration and Citizenship Public Services | Temporal: | 1960-1969 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
