In Lucknow, as in other parts of the world, graves mean little to some people, but a search on the internet proves otherwise! What one will find on this blog isn't even 'a drop in the vast ocean' of tears that would have been shed if it were possible to calculate. The names, the sad poetry, quotes and expression of grief of the loved ones all being ground to dust.

George Reid died 1901
Sacred To the memory of GEORGE REID WHO DIED AT LUCKNOW 16TH MARCH 1901 AGED 58 YEARS * "GOD'S FINGER TOUCHED HIM AND HE SLEPT"
* Thy will be done (Nishatganj Cemetery, Lucknow)
I was looking for an image of George Reid who made plenty of contributions to Ornithology. Using this image for his posthumous profile, until I can get a proper picture from Lamartiniere.
