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. "...We always say that the history of a parish is in its graveyards..." Passage West (from a blog and book by Jim Murphy)
I have a gold pocket watch I bought at an antichs in Dublin 47 years ago. A presentation legend appears on the back of the watch that says:
ReplyDeleteA.H. LANGRIDGE
from
H.H. RANI SURAT KUNWER SAHIBA
of
KHAIRIGARH
1906
I would like to hear any news about it, the meaning of the legend, and if it makes the watch especially valuable. Thanks
