About Younghusband
Sir Francis Edward Younghusband (1863-1942) was a British explorer, army officer, military-political officer, and foreign correspondent born in India who led expeditions into Manchuria, Kashgar, and
Tibet. He three times tried and failed to scale Mt. Everest and journeyed from China to India, crossing the Gobi desert and the Mustagh Pass (alt. c.19,000 ft/5,791 m) of the Karakoram mountain range in modern day Pakistan. Convinced of Russian designs on British interests in India, Younghusband proactively engaged in the nineteenth century spying and conflict over Central Asia between the British and the Russians known as the Great Game.
"Younghusband" is a Canadian who has spent a number of years bouncing back and forth between his home country and Japan. Fluent in Japanese and English with experience in numerous other languages from Spanish to Georgian, Younghusband has travelled throughout Asia. He graduated with an MA from the War Studies Department at the
Royal Military College of Canada, where he focussed on the Japanese oil industry and energy security issues. He has recently returned to Canada from Japan, and is working in the technology sector.
And the dude can’t make any out from our RISING SUN?
Shame.
Dear Aceface,
Love Curzon
Thought-provoking, but I wouldn’t call the data very robust statistics. Education to age 15 is reportedly compulsory in China, EU oil production is about 18% of consumption (compared to the US where production is about 40% of consumption). But perhaps rather more US citizens would be hard pressed to find Iraq on a map…..
But thanks for the link
Nice one, Lord Curzon!
Check this,Curzon.From that dancing globe trotting dude,”Matt” on You-tube.
Apparently he passed by our Kujira-ya!

Very well executed agitprop.
Great work with the gradients and textures. Always a fan of tasty design, even if the political statements are simplistic at best.
