    1. This was written/typed sometime after March 1901 by my grandfather, David Henry Graeme (he was gazetted Captain in March 1901). It describes the Relief of Lucknow, which his father (my great grandfather) took part in - his father was in the Madras Fusiliers. I am not sure where he collated his information, perhaps some from his father, but it makes a very interesting read. I knew nothing about Lucknow until I read this, so it is great that my long deceased grandfather, who would be 137 yrs old now (99 yrs older than me!), has educated me I hope you enjoy reading it like I have.

    2. Thanks again for the interesting feedback Mervyn. I really like the breakfast shot too. Not sure about the bird, but I would go with the crane myself - seems like an unusual pet, but then I guess they were not normal times! With regard to shot no. 24, definitely no I.Y.'s in my family. As for more albums, I don't think there are any more Boer albums. A few others, inc some of India, and I have some glass slides from Palestine in WW1, but I've got to figure out how to get them on here - I've had a go with my scanner, but not much success so far. Cheers Alex
