| Biography | Alexander, Robert Waller, Lieutenant (c. 1835— 1857).— Grave at Delhi, No. 94.— Son of the Revd. Robert Alexander, and great grandson of Sir Robert Waller, Bart. Entered the Bengal Army in 1852. Arrived in India in December of the same year, and was sent up to Benares to do duty with the 42d N.I. In March 1853 he was posted to the 3d N.I., which he joined at Jhelum, and with which he proceeded to Phillaur at the end of 1854. He was still serving at that place when the Mutiny broke out, and in June 1857 he was sent down to Delhi on escort duty with ordnance stores for the besieging force. While he was in camp before Delhi the rebels, on the evening of the 19th June, made a desperate attack on the rear of the British position, and going into action with the troops, as a volunteer, he unfortunately fell under the fire of the enemy. |
