Mr. Jinnah rocking his balmoral boots, made by John Lobb!

[FYI - I could be wrong about the shoe manufacturer. In Jinnah’s mausoleum there is a pair of his balmoral boots made by John Lobb. In Wazir Mansion, in Karachi, there is another pair of his balmoral boots which was made by Hellstern & Sons, Paris. I am assuming these ones are made by John Lobb because this photo was most likely taken in London, England].

In April 1948 the Quaid, on his tour of the (then) North-West Frontier Province, visited the Dera Ismail Khan Guides Cavalry, And on April 16 he spent a day in Bannu. He was accompanied by Miss Fatima Jinnah. After lunch at a Battalion Mess, he came to Brigade House in the Fort in Bannu.

After tea, Mr. Jinnah addressed a large gathering from the ramparts. Colonel Sahibzada Khurshid (later Governor NWFP) was also in attendance. In the late afternoon the Quaid, with Miss Jinnah, flew to Peshawar to present colours to an Infantry Brigade, and to hold a large garden party at Government House. Brigadier Yousuf, later Lieutenant General, Ambassador to Australia in 1957 and twice High Commissioner to Great Britain (1959-63 and 1971-72), accompanied the Quaid on this visit to Bannu.
