Reorganisation of this reading list
Inscriptions on gravestones and memorials can be a rich source of information for the family historian. The British Association for Cemeteries in South Asia (BACSA) is the primary organisation collating transcripts from churches and graveyards across Asia and their publications form the bulk of the recommendations contained in this reading list.
* ''The Forgotten Irish : memorials of the Raj'', compiled by Eileen Hewson.
Wem: Kabristan Archives, 2004
This sequel to ''The Forgotten Irish'' brings the coverage into the Twentieth Century. Over 650 entries from war graves and war memorials in India, Burma, Indonesia, Malaya and Ceylon, with the majority being deaths from the two world wars. "[T]he author has compiled another very useful work of reference for family history researchers whose ancestors come within her remit." The review by David Blake is on p.48 of FIBIS ''Journal'' 15 (Spring 2006)
