Hello.
I was a Signals Sergeant seconded to the Ghurkas based in Dharan, Nepal from 1960 to '62.
I was tasked with placing a military headstone on the grave of a Sapper who died in the Himalayas in 1959. He was buried in a Christian cemetery in KATIHAR, Bihar State in India.
He was the only British soldier buried in this cemetery.
I took photos of the grave once the job was completed, the undeveloped spool which I sent to the War Graves Commission asking them to forward a copy to me. I never received a reply to this request, and have always wondered whose name was on the headstone.
Can anyone suggest the best way to try and find this information?
Thank you.
