IN LOVING MEMORY OF DR JOHN BARNBY CHARLES BORN: 15TH OCTOBER 1917 DIED: 5TH JANUARY 1995** Dr Charles was a doctor in the Indian Army. He was the La Martiniere College doctor for many years |
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)

Hi George,
ReplyDeleteIs this Dr John Charles who was Alison and John Charles' father? He used to see patients somewhere in Hazratganj near Chowdhury's Sweet House? Do you know where the children are now?
Regards,
Glenda

ReplyDeleteYes Glenda,
ReplyDeleteSome years ago when I came upon his grave I felt bad that I hadn't heard of his death at the time or I would have made it a point to attend his funeral.
