He was born in 1806 in Ceylon and educated at Foyle College in Derry and then Addiscombe Military Seminary. He joined the East India Company, rising to the rank of Brigadier General in the Bengal Artillery. While engaged in matters of concern to the British Raj like the revenue system, the canal system, and roads, the worry that was always with him was the future of the orphans of British soldiers. This worry took the form of the four asylums.
The Sanawar and Mount Abu were constructed and commissioned in the lifetime of Sir Henry Lawrence, while Ghora Gali came into being in his memory, with a major contribution from his family. Status
NameChanging its name to Pine Hills College in 1973, Ghora Gali College in 1979 and then back to Lawrence College Ghora Gali Murree in 1986, was undoubtedly a big set back to the college from many angles but it still has maintained its name among the top public schools of the country.{{or|date=February 2019}} Logo and mottoBefore 1920, the School Crest used to be an Eagle poised for flight, with the motto ‘Onwards and Upwards’. The present logo is an adaptation of the Lawrence Coat of Arms, granted to the college in 1926, by Sir Alexander Hutchison Lawrence, the eldest son of Sir Henry. "Never Give In" is the motto of the college, being the last instructions of Sir Henry Lawrence while dying at the Lucknow Residency. Principals
