Some suggestions of improvements to part of this article:

Lt James Bryan Orchard, a British soldier, converted to Islam-e-Ahmadiyyat in March 1945 and became the first European (British) Ahmadi Muslim missionary. Born in Torquay, he had a conventional upbringing prior to joining the Indian Army. Lt Orchard later joined the Indian Ordinance Corps. in 1942. He was also a member of the Church of England at the time. He had a brother who was a Roman Catholic priest. On one occasion, an Ahmadi Sergeant named Havildar Clerk Abdur Rehman Dehlavi who belonged to Orchard’s unit, asked the Ahmadi Head Quarters in Qadian to send him a book by Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (via post) titled: "Islami Usool Ki Philosophy", i.e. ‘The Teachings of Islam’.
