Ganpat is another name for the elephant god Ganesh. He started his writing career with articles for 'Blackwood's Magazine' on his service in East Africa during World War 1. He wrote many adventure stories in the style of H. Rider Haggard, though most of Ganpat's stories are set in the Himalayas. He was an Anglo Indian soldier, and his stories reflect his military and frontier background. He retired in 1939 with the rank of Brigadier,[2] ending his days in the town of Chagford, on the edge of Dartmoor, where he could pursue his passion for fishing. WorksHis books include the following titles:[3]
He also wrote two travel books on Ladakh, the Tibetan enclave in North-West Kashmir, "The Road to Lamaland" and "Magic Ladakh"[3], as well as a travel brochure titled, "The North-West Frontier of India" for the Indian State Railways. Having served as a Captain in the 108th Infantry of the British Indian Army, Gompertz also wrote, "The Indian Army Quartermaster's Manual", published in 1914.
