Burial of the late Sir Henry Havelock-Allan: at the graveside, 1898. 'With simple yet solemn military honours the last rites were rendered at Rawal Pindi to the mortal remains of the distinguished soldier Sir Henry Havelock-Allan, whose murder by the Afridis remains the most lamentable incident of the Indian Frontier Campaign. By special request of the Royal Irish Regiment, of which he was Colonel, Sir Henry's body was sent down from Peshawar under an officer's escort, and buried with the full military honours of a Lieutenant-General, under the orders of Major-General C. J. Moorsom, commanding the Rawal Pindi district...The whole garrison attended, the road from the barracks to the cemetery being lined by the 25th Punjab Infantry and the Somerset Light Infantry, the officers of the garrison following the chief mourners, succeeded by the 50th Field Battery Royal Artillery, and the 4th (Royal Irish) Dragoon Guards. The service was conducted by two English chaplains, in the presence of the entire European population of Rawal Pindi, who thus paid a last tribute of respect to the late Sir Henry and his famous father. For these details and for the Illustrations here given we are indebted to Major J. B. Forster, 2nd Battalion, Royal Irish Regiment'. From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
