This book is the life story of one of the dynasty whose life spanned almost the whole century. Following military service in India and Burma, A.T. Houghton returned to England to train as a missionary; he had answered an elderly lady’s question in 1910, about whether he was going to be a missionary, with a ‘I hope so’, and now he sought to honour that commitment.
