hi lesley,
        i like helping people out so don't mention it.  there is an old cemetery just below the military hospital . i went there today looking for the grave but the cemetery had been neglected for a long time. most of the graves have been vandalized and the marble/granite slabs bearing the names of the deceased are not there. still about 60% of them had readable names.many were covered by thick layer of soil and one cannot even make out if walking over it. i was half way over when a forest fire broke out nearby and i had to leave because of the smoke. the approach to the cemetery is also very tough and rarely any one goes there any more. also there are two more cemeteries nearby which i will check out soon.

regards dew

hi lesley,
         there is a estate by the name of priory estate in kasauli which may have been your grandfathers. the birth records are maintained by the local cantonement board office here. the death and burrial records are maintained by the local priest of the churches in kasauli. i could not get enough time till now but will definitely help you out.

i am very much doubtful if the hospital or any other agency will be maintaining such old records. but you know the army anything is possible.
