Memorial Sacred to the memory of Brevet Major Charles Aeneas Burton, 40th Regiment Bengal Native Infantry, Political Agent, Harowtee, aged 47 years and of his two sons, Arthur Robert, aged 21 years, and 1 month and Frauds Clerke, aged 19 years and 8 months. Three defenceless Englishmen who on the 15th October 1857, the year of the Indian Mutiny, were barbarously surrounded in the Residency by the bloodthirsty Soldiers of the Maharaja of Kotah. For five hours these gallant men, a father and two sons kept the whole of the miscreants at bay, when alone and unaided they were finally ovepowered and foully massacred. This tablet is erected by a brokenhearted wife and mother. “ Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord. I will repay.”
