The Lawrence School - Sanawar is located in the Kasauli Hills, Solan
District, Himachal Pradesh, India.
Quoting the School's official website:
"The Lawrence School - Sanawar, established in 1847, situated at a height of
1750 metres and spread over an area of 139 acres, heavily forested with pine,
deodar and other conifer trees, is the fruit of the vision of Sir Henry
Lawrence, and his wife Honoria. Sanawar is a co-educational boarding school,
affiliated to CBSE [Central Board of Secondary Education] and has students of
varying backgrounds from different parts of the sub-continent. It provides an
environment that encourages a questioning mind and gives students many avenues
for expressing their creativity and building their skills."

Quoting the Ulster History Circle website:
"Henry Montgomery Lawrence was
born at Matara, Ceylon, on 28th June 1806 [...]. In 1838, Henry and Honoria
Marshall, from Fahan, were married and a year later Henry was given the civil
charge of Ferozepore followed by important trusts in Nepal, Lahore and
elsewhere. After he was knighted in 1848, Sir Henry continued to serve in the
Punjab until March 1857, when Lord Canning, the Governor-General, appointed him
as Chief Commissioner and Agent in Oudh. Realising the precarious situation in
the Province, Sir Henry urgently arranged for the vulnerable population in the
area to gather in the grounds of the Residency of Lucknow, which he had
already fortified and supplied with stores and ammunition. On 2nd July 1857,
while at breakfast, Sir Henry was struck by shrapnel from an exploding shell. He
died two days later unaware that in London he had been appointed
Governor-General-in-Waiting. It was during his time in the Punjab that Sir
Henry, ably supported by Lady Honoria, founded a boarding school at Kasauli,
near Shimla, for orphans and children of British soldiers who had served in
India. This asylum was a great success and later became known as the Royal
Military School, Sanawar [...]."
