The memoirs are typewritten with corrections and annotations in ink.Worth recounts posts held in Gyantse [Gyangze], Bahrain, Baluchistan [Balochistān], Gujerat [Gujarat], Kathiawar, Rajputana, Orissa [Odisha], and Quetta. He states his preference for the Indian Civil Service over the Indian Political Service, and also gives his views on the partition of India.Worth concludes his memoirs with an account of his career after 1947 in Australia, most notably in the Department of External Affairs, where he was involved in assisting Indian and Pakistani students in Victoria and Tasmania.Physical description: Foliation: the foliation sequence (used for referencing) commences at the first folio with 1 and terminates at the last folio with 6; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio.Pagination: the file also contains an original pagination sequence.
