 I've not noticed this written on any other grave but it has been recorded that burials took place in the night under the cover of darkness. And it was only, perhaps, a year later that graves were constructed, relying on someone's memory. Lucknow's Raj Bhawan is where the palatial Banks House stood. The road nearby is still know as Major Banks Road.
