Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an extended list of epitaphs from British India in the era of the Raj, giving insights into military and civilian lives and deaths in the 19th century. The author has travelled widely through the Indian subcontinent to locate and record inscriptions that are increasingly falling into disrepair, and collected together biographical details of the people commemorated. The collection runs from the first British in India to soldiers, statesmen, and civil servants who died in the 1857 Indian Rebellion. The diversity of epitaphs included highlights the social changes, which took place during this period and the shared experience of death in a foreign land and uncertain times. The book will appeal to anyone interested in the history of the British Empire and military history. It's also an invaluable resource for genealogists and family historians whose ancestors served in India.
