Edwin Skinner was overseeing the work of the India branch at that time. He had attended the eighth class of the Watchtower Bible School of Gilead in 1946 with many other faithful brothers, including Harold King and Stanley Jones, who were assigned to China.
Tajā laikā Indijas filiāles darbu vadīja Edvins Skiners, kas 1946. gadā bija mācījies Sargtorņa Bībeles Gileādas skolas astotajā grupā kopā ar daudziem citiem uzticīgiem brāļiem, to vidū arī Heroldu Kingu un Stenliju Džounsu *, kuri tika nosūtīti sludināt uz Ķīnu.
