Gift of John Jacob
This is a framed photo of John Jacob in his INA uniform. Young civilian volunteers like John Jacob joined the INA out of a sense of conviction in the INA’s proclaimed aim of freeing India from British rule. Their belief was strengthened particularly after Subhas Chandra Bose became the INA leader in 1943.
