Hullo again,
dbee7 mentions a cemetery... if there was a hosspital, a hille station, s garrison, there almost certainly will be a cemetery.   Finding the records is the challenge.

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

Dear Dew,

You really are such a dear person - I am extremely grateful to you for taking time to look.  I would absolutely love to be there looking as well!  My father has often wondered what it would be like to go back to India.  Although he was a little boy when he left India, he still has some quite vivid memories. 

Again, I do thank you so very much for your kindness!

All good wishes,
Lesley
