Shakeel ... welcome to RootsChat !   This is the place for people to find things out, and renovate pictures.   How kind of you to get such a good picture and post it here.  I'm sure lots of people will work on it, and also find out more about Captain Anderson

Can you tell us the name of your village/town, and whereabouts in Pakistan you are ?   It might help with searching records to know where the burial is.

Have a look at this link. I think you have the date mixed up. Battle of Gujrat was in 1849. The link mentions the Bengal army.
