    1. [INDIA-BRITISH-RAJ] Cawnpore Well

    3. I wonder if anyone might help identify the unit in which chaplain I W Shaw served in. I've recently been contacted by somebody who has this interesting artefact of a wooden cross made from a tree near the infamous Bibighar well from the Indian Mutiny. It can be seen on my website at: http://www.britishempire.co.uk/forces/armycampaigns/indiancampaigns/mutiny/c awnporecross.htm The inscription on the base states: "made out of a tree wch (sic) stood near 'the Well' at Cawnpore 1857 (signed) I W Shaw Chaplain" The owner is actually prepared to donate it to a regimental museum - but only if we can identify which unit might be interested in acquiring it. Any help would be gratefully received. Stephen Luscombe stephen@britishempire.co.uk http://www.britishempire.co.uk
