Lawrence and Angelina Talbot

ANGELINA TALBOT

Both did cir 1955
*
There were two Talbot
sisters in Lucknow who had
a brother, Paul (?)
The sisters lived a very tough
life. It isn't know what happened to the brother,
but the sisters, who I was told years later,
survived on tuitions must have died in the
1980s. They went everywhere together, seemed to
speak to nobody. I remember
there was a time when I would see only
one and then the other also disappeared.
Never heard of their demise!

Is the CWGC running low on funds!!

I found it difficult to guess why just a handful of graves have
been selected at  the Bandariabagh Cemetery, Lucknow
*
The Devlali, Maharashtra Cantt. cemetery photos are from
 my friend BRIAN FERNANDEZ, a retired
teacher from Barns School.  
Graves in Lucknow have
been done somewhat differently!
Three years ago when I first saw
 the CWGC 'temporary marker'
in what was at one time was
the Lucknow Cantonment Cemetery,
later changed to Bandariabagh Cem.,
I wondered why would they remove
century-old headstones that were
in perfect condition. In 2012 also
I saw the same type of changes
in a Nainital Cemetery.

representatives overseeing
the cemetery work at Deolali,
Maharashtra

DRIVER H.F. SIDDERS

Old headstones being replaced by white stone brought
 from France. The Commonwealth War Graves
Commission has undertaken the task of bringing uniformity
in its cemeteries all over the world.
