IN LOVING MEMORY
OF
SAMMY D. COWASJI
BORN 10TH jUNE, 1928
DIED 16TH NOV, 1981
"AND IN GOD'S HOUSE FOREVER MORE
MY DWELLING PLACE SHALL BE"
ERECTED BY
HIS LOVED ONES
*

Husband of Margaret (Antunis) Cowasji,

who has since passed on, Sammy was

a railway official under tremendous

pressure from corrupt clerks and

contractors who were involved in

bungling in the employment of

daily wagers. A local newspaper,

now defunct, had carried a series of

articles highlighting this under the 

caption: Cowasji papers. His sudden

death initially seemed suspicious

but was finally put down to a

heart attack.

 died June 1920, aged 29

Visited Bandariabagh Cem with a cousin on a very warm
March 2018 morning

CWGC graves in the Bandariabagh Cemetery,  Lucknow -- March 2018 Several graves with the original headstones in good condition were
destroyed just for uniformity. Before I came to know of of the CWGC plan I had photographed century old graves where the headstones, deliberately uprooted. 
lay in the dirt. 
I couldn't help wondering what happened to uniformity when I
spotted some graves that had been
repaired with the original sandstone 
headstone retained. That is what could have been a part of the plan -- to retain headstones except where 
there was serious weathering and damage. Some graves in the old Pines Cemetery, Nainital (name taken from the google satellite map)
also had CWGC graves where the original headstones were retained.

1ST BN THE BUFFS
DIED AT RANIKHET
5.6. 1928
AGED 22 YARS

The Commonwealth War Graves Commission must have spent a 
considerable amount of money to preserve graves all over he
 globe. However, in several places the uniform white headstones
seem to have fallen short. There are some in the Bandariabagh
 Cem.,  Lucknow. I was surprised to find that graves in very 
stable condition were dismantled, with some headstones being 
replaced with the  imported, white ones while others were not. 
So, where is the uniformity?
