The Founder lands in Peshawar, June 1948 Followed by Ms Jinnah, Sir Ambrose Dundas Governor and Abdul Qayyum Khan Chief Minister of NWFP and Major General Nazir Ahmed.  Gen Nazir Ahmed was much senior to Ayub Khan. Ayub Khan was only a Colonel or just promoted as Brigadier at that time.   Gen Nazir Ahmed was tall and a man of natural authority. His only son lives in Toronto, Canada. The history of Pakistan might have been different if such an officer had succeeded Douglas Gracey.
