Joyce The RMA have a few cemetries on the grounds as quite a few 'civvies' here/have worked on the premises, I would write to the Archives. They are really helpful, as another person that used to be on this site asked for my help re RMA, ok she find what she was looking for but they tried their hardest Kim

you could try this site http://members(.)ozemail(.)com.au/~clday/index.html lose the brackets They are a family history in India site Had a quick look through the Indian mutiny medal page and found this one - Medal to widow, Mary McCartney, Private McCartney James 1st Bengal European Fusiliers There might be others - sorry real life interferes

just so everyone knows why im looking she got the bravery for crawling over dead bodies to bring water to her husband and it was queen victoria who award her military honours,does this help

I think you must have deleted all the other threads about this woman............I can't locate them. Reg

Joyce I know you're far, but here is a phone number 01276 23602

If she wasn't in the military herself, she almost certainly wouldn't actually be in a 'war grave'......... Reg

hi Reg did phone them but if i can remember they said they did,nt have any wat graves but mybe i got it wrong

Joyce You could try writing to the RMA Sandhurst, they have an Archives department there, actually yesterday was they're Heritage Day, and it was open to the public. the address for St Michael's is London Road, Camberley Surrey, Kim

thanks Kim how do i get to look there as i think it was her hubby who was in the military in the Indian mutinty,but she got the military honours for bravery

She will either be buried in the RMA of possibly St Micheal's Camberley Kim

Your best hope of obtaining info is to write to the cemetery........... Reg
