Photograph of the laying of the foundation stone of King George's Royal Indian Military School (now known as Rashtriya Military School Chail) in Jalandhar which Prince Edward of Wales attended. The Prince stands on the left along with military officers whilst Lieutenant Colonel Lascelles reads an address from a dais. Potted plants decorate the area in front of and to the sides of the dais.

Also in attendance at the new college were Pensioners and almost 1000 Indian officers who had gathered to meet the Prince. The school moved to Chail in Himachal Pradesh in 1960 and in 2007 the school changed its name to the Rashtriya Military School.

On October 26 1921, Edward, Prince of Wales left Portsmouth to begin a tour of the Indian Subcontinent and Japan that covered 41,000 miles, lasting 8 months. Prince Edward spent four months in India, travelling from Bombay to Calcutta and then from Madras to Karachi. As the British Empire's Ambassador, the Prince visited India on behalf of his father King George V, to thank the nation for the essential role it had played during the First World War. Moreover, the visit was intended to strengthen links between Britain and its Empire at a time of increasing calls for Indian independence.
