Summary, etc. Ranks and Rosaries narrates the compelling journey of Brigadier James, a distinguished officer of the Indian Army. Born into modest circumstances, his life and military career exemplified dedication, resilience and leadership.<br/><br/>He led the Electronics and Mechanical Engineering units in Uttarakhand, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, and Sikkim and served as Officer Commanding at the Siachen Brigade Workshop. As a Colonel, he commanded a Battalion in Punjab. As a Brigadier, he was the Commandant and MD of a Base Workshop in Allahabad and later headed the National Cadet Corps (NCC) in Kerala.<br/><br/>Alongside his esteemed career, his radiant wife, Mary, was the constant glow in his life. Their bond, spanning 45 years of blissful marriage, was a testament to love and partnership.<br/><br/>Post-retirement, the Brigadier ventured into politics, community service, mentorship and globetrotting. However, a stark diagnosis of liver cancer amid the COVID-19 pandemic tested his resolve. During this challenging period, his unwavering faith emerged as the beacon, with the Rosary symbolising hope and strength. As the world grappled with the pandemic, his home transformed into a sanctuary of intense prayers, bridging him with divinity. The unexpected appearance of a Paradise Flycatcher in his backyard stood as nature's testament to his recovery and spiritual triumph.<br/><br/>Ranks and Rosaries demonstrate the power of faith during adversity, highlighting the marriage of military leadership with spiritual resilience. The Brigadier continues to inspire mentoring young aspirants at the Berchmans Defence Academy, Changanacherry, Kerala.
