Thanks for posting this, Harshoo. It so happens that one of my grandfather's cousins was buried in Nicholson Cemetery in 1909, of cholera. According to one of my family's genealogists, Harry Walter Barlow's grave was #800F in Pukka Plot 15#25, and his MI was recorded in "St James Burial Register" - whatever that is. He was a retired British Army Officer, employed by the Maharajah of Sirmoor. I'm not likely to get over to Delhi any time soon, but if any India Lister is there, would he or she kindly have a look around for me? Thanks very much. Gordon Barlow (Reuters) - By the side of a crowded Delhi highway with buses thundering by and hawkers touting their wares lies a small, walled cemetery. It holds the graves of hundreds of British citizens and other foreigners who, for better or worse, played roles in India's colonial past. Soldiers, missionaries, traders and officials rest here, the cracked tombstones giving only hints of their lives. Despite the peaceful air, the Nicholson Christian Cemetery near the Kashmere Gate is also testimony to a history of violence. It was founded after the Indian Mutiny in 1857 and many of its inhabitants died in that conflict, now seen by some as India's first war for independence.

A quiet little British cemetery - a retreat in busy Delhi, which holds its secrets unto itself. When scholars collate India’s history in its comparatively recent past, these individuals who played their various roles, should perhaps, also find a place in the life and events of those times. The cemetery looks well tended and I DO like to see a JHAROO being wielded to sweep a grave! If I had known, I would like to have visited this place.

I have been looking through the India Office records recently put on-line by FindMyPast. I must say that I find the baptism, marriages and burial information to be a great disappointment; many records previously found on LDs microfilms is missing and I have not been able to fill in any gaps in my tree. I don't know if this because FMP have not included the information or if there is problem with the search facility. However, I have found the FMP records of India wills and probate to be a mine of information with good image clarity. I have, in particular, been looking at the probate inventory of effects of my wife's great great grandfather who died at Calcutta in 1819. With the help of Hobson-Jobson I have interpreted unfamiliar names of objects but there are still a few I need help with and I am hoping that someone on the list may be able to assist. The items are: A taujohn with hood and green morocco seats. It would appear that a taujohn is some sort of carriage but quite what don't know. A Mehannah palankeen. I have found that a palankeen is what I would know of as a sedan chair but I don't know what Mehannah means. Bottles of Seetacoond water. I would guess some sort of mineral water, David Railton

Harshoo, when faced with ‘statistics’ , I am truly aghast at the magnitude of killing and maimed not to mention vast numbers of human beings displaced and generally horribly affected by that terrible war and .. by its tragic aftermath for suffering continues long after treaties are signed. Having risen to Hitler’s bait, Britain once again, answered the challenge taking with her, good men (and women) from her colonies. Those ‘times’ cannot be repeated on such a scale for, although the ‘ ethics' that drew her into conflict remain, she does not have any longer, the luxury of Empire to support them. In any case, the many ‘wars’ that have ensued since WW2 , have in my thinking, doubtful and confused ethics to support their cause. ‘Right' and 'Wrong’ thinking in todays world, seem to have no clear line of demarcation.

Hi Folks, Just recently we have been joined by a new list member with the same christian name as mine - ie "Ainslie" and btw "Welcome to the list Ainslie," may you have wonderful responses to your postings and find answers to many of your family history questions from members on these lists! From time to time in the past I have had replies sent direct to my email address rather than through the list postings from friends who simply click on my name and then type personal messages for me. Now that there are two of us with the same Christian (ie 1st name) of "Ainslie" - and the same spelling!!! I have responded to a couple of emails which, on reflection, were probably intended for the other Ainslie!!!! I have suggested to the other Ainslie that she add the first letter of her surname to her signature - and I'll do the same - so that when folk reply to us we don't find we're getting a message which should have been sent to the other "Ainslie" - sorry if this seems a little 'wordy' but it's the easiest way of getting the dilemma sorted! So in future messages from me will have a signature of "AinslieP" or if I have my name in the "To:" section it will have 'AinslieP' to differentiate between Ainslie - and Ainslie I hope this doesn't add further confusion!?!?!?!? Cheers AinslieP

05/02/2014 World War I in numbers (AFP) 10 MILLION MILITARY DEAD, 20 MILLION INJURED Britain and British Empire: 960,000 dead, two million injured, of which 760,000 for Britain, 62,000 for Australia, 61,000 for Canada, 54,000 for India. http://www.expatica.com/fr/news/french-news/world-war-i-in-numbers_284451.html Millions of dead, millions more wounded, widowed and orphaned, the dizzying figures from World War I provide a small clue to the scale and horrors of the 1914-18 conflict. The lack of reliable statistical tools at the time makes figures on the Great War difficult to pin down, accounting for sometimes substantial variations between historians. The number of victims on the Russian and Ottoman sides remains particularly uncertain. AFP has compiled the most widely accepted figures related to the conflict, and provided estimates in cases where major discrepancies still exist. MORE THAN 70 NATIONS: The figure is slightly anachronistic, since many of these nations had yet to gain independence from the six empires and colonial powers -- Austria-Hungary, Britain, France, Germany, Russia and the Ottoman Empire -- at the heart of the conflict. A dozen independent nations went to war in the summer of 1914, the rest entering the conflict later like Italy in 1915 or the United States in 1917. Together the warring nations accounted for more than 800 million people, or more than half the world's population at the time. Only around 20 countries were to remain neutral throughout the conflict, most of them in Latin America or northern Europe. 70 MILLION SOLDIERS: Some 20 million men were mobilised by the warring parties at the outset of war in 1914, a figure that rose as the war dragged on in time and expanded in scope. Close to half of those mobilised were killed or injured. Eight million men were mobilised in France, 13 million in Germany, nine million in Austria-Hungary, nine million in Britain and the British Empire (chiefly India), 18 million in Russia, six million in Italy, four million in the United States. 10 MILLION MILITARY DEAD, 20 MILLION INJURED France: 1.4 million dead, 4.2 million injured Germany: 2 million dead, 4.2 million injured Austria-Hungary: 1.4 million dead, 3.6 million injured Russia: 1.8 million dead, five million injured Britain and British Empire: 960,000 dead, two million injured, of which 760,000 for Britain, 62,000 for Australia, 61,000 for Canada, 54,000 for India. Italy: 600,000 dead, one million injured Ottoman Empire: 800,000 dead Serbia suffered the worst losses proportionally to the size of its army, with 130,000 dead and 135,000 wounded -- three quarters of its forces. The emblematic battles of Verdun and the Somme, in 1916, left 770,000 and 1.2 million dead, wounded and missing, on both sides. But the opening weeks of the war took the heaviest toll in human lives, with 27,000 French soldiers killed in a single day on August 22, 1914, the deadliest day in the history of the French army. Seventy percent of the dead and wounded were hit by artillery fire. Between five and six million were mutilated for life. Poison gas, used on the battlefield for the first time, claimed 20,000 lives -- relatively few in terms of the war's overall toll -- but was to loom large in the shared memory of the conflict, and with consequences for many of the survivors long after the war had ended. MILLIONS OF CIVILIAN DEAD: In addition to military losses many millions of civilian lives were lost to the fighting. One million Armenians were massacred by Turkish forces, while some historians believe that up to five million people died in the Russian civil war and lingering conflicts that simmered on after 1918 in eastern Europe and Turkey. A Spanish Influenza epidemic that broke out at the end of the war claimed another 20 TO 40 MILLION LIVES among populations often weakened by years of deprivation. SIX MILLION PRISONERS OF WAR 20 MILLION LIVING UNDER OCCUPATION at the end of 1915, most of them in Belgium, France, Poland and Serbia, living under German, Austro-Hungarian and Bulgarian rule. 10 MILLION REFUGEES across Europe, most of them in Russia, Serbia, France, Belgium, Germany and Armenia. THREE MILLION WAR WIDOWS, SIX MILLION ORPHANS 1.3 MILLION SHELLS FIRED, most of them on the Western Front, including 330 million fired by French artillery and 60 million during the Battle of Verdun alone. 10 BILLION LETTERS AND PACKAGES exchanged between fighters on the Western Front and their loved ones during more than 50 months of conflict. 180 BILLION DOLLARS: The estimated cost of the war for the seven main belligerents -- Austria-Hungary, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Russia and the United States. Two thirds of the cost was borne by the Allies and one third by the Central Powers. It was the equivalent of three to four times the combined GDP of the European powers, who were ruined by the conflict. ============ ---- Harshawardhan_Bosham Nimkhedkar
