ABSTRACT
General Dyer died on July 23, 1927. His body was brought to London and accorded a military funeral at the Church of St Martins-in-the-Fields. His principal supporter, Sir Michael O’Dwyer, survived him by thirteen years. Then on March 13, 1940, he fell victim to an assassin’s bullet. O’Dwyer was shot dead by an Indian named Udham Singh, who said his real name was Singh Azad, at the Caxton Hall, London, at the end of a meeting called by the East India Association and the Royal Central Asian Society. Udham Singh, who with other shots wounded Lord Zetland, the Secretary of State for India, a former Governor of Bombay, Lord Lamington, and Sir Louis Dane, a former Lieutenant-Governor of the Punjab, was seized and overpowered.
