Author Information

Lieutenant Colonel Sir Francis Edward Younghusband was a British Army officer, explorer, and spiritual author. He was born on May 31, 1863, and died on July 31, 1942. People remember him for the trips he took to the Far East and Central Asia, especially the British expedition he led to Tibet in 1904, and for the books he wrote about Asia and foreign policy. Younghusband was a British commissioner to Tibet and the President of the Royal Geographical Society, among other jobs. Younghusband took a trip across Asia in 1886 and 1887 while he was still a young officer and on leave from his unit. Younghusband married Charles Magniac's daughter Helen Augusta Magniac in 1897. During the trip to Tibet, Vernon, who was Augusta's brother, worked as Younghusband's personal secretary. The couple lived in Westerham, Kent, from 1921 to 1937, but Helen did not go with her husband on his trips. Younghusband had a stroke in July 1942, right after he spoke at the World Congress of Faiths in Birmingham.
