The attached photograph shows the memorial in Dehra Dhun to Captain John Robinson, who was killed at the battle of Dargai in 1897. He was great-uncle to Colonel James Robinson, who as Colonel Brigade of Gurkhas visited the memorial to pay his respects in 2017. The Indian Army had kindly refurbished it for the visit.
An article about Captain John Robinson appeared in the Spring 2018 Sirmooree which gives more details about his story and two more photos of the Memorial.
