Historique
Reginald Stanley Underhill was born in Oxford in 1870. He qualified as an engineer and travelled to South America with his wife, to construct a rope-way to copper mines in the Andes. He then joined the Indian Forestry Service and was lent to the Maharaja of Nepal, around 1913, to survey and build a rope-way into the country from Raxaul, India, to Kathmandu. The finished ropeway was 57 miles long. He was one of three working Europeans in Nepal, the others being the British Minister and the Maharaja's doctor. Underhill retired and left Nepal in 1928 and returned to England living in the Channel Islands and Cornwall. He died in Bath in 1964.
