    3. In 'Two Monsoons' Theon Wilkinson has the epitaph on the tomb of Brevet Ensign William Graham, who died at Monghyr in 1829, aged 86: "William Graham came out to India a private in the Honourable Company's Army in 1766 and for his meritorious and gallant conduct was honoured with the Brevet of Ensign; frugal and judicious in the course of life, after retiring from active duties of his profession, he creditably educated his children and maintained his family and accumulated a very considerable fortune." ' I am interested in further information about his military career and where he came from. I have seen what FIBIS has which is from 'Dodwell + Miles Bengal Army Officers' and also the entry in 'Hodson's, Officers of the Bengal Army, 1758-1834'. Can anyone please tell me if the British Library is likely to have any information in addition to this? David Railton
