The British lie quietly in Meerut
May 9, 2007
The graves, more than 150 years old, are in a dilapidated state. Some of the encryptions on them are still clear though.
On the grave of Donald Macdonald, for instance, is written: 'Captain of the 20th regiment who was killed by his own men on the 10th of May 1857, 35 years, with his wife Louisa Sophia aged 30 years, who was barbarously murdered the same night while trying to make her escape with her three infants from her burning house to the European Line.'
