My Dear Amitav,
In spite of confronting CWGC with relevant translated passages from KALYAN-PRADIP and the memoirs of WC Bonnerjee’s daughter Janaki Majumdar which is in English and clearly shows KKM was not the son of Nalini Heloise BIair, CWGC refused to change the wrong inscription. Sad.

In reply to JOYDEEP SIRCAR.

Thanks for the tips on Nasiriya and Bijit. I’ve sent them the relevant passages from Kalyan-Pradeep.
best

My Dear Amitav,
I was pleasantly astonished to find quite a lot of information about Dr. K K Mukherji in your Mesopotamia blogs – as a matter of fact I have been in correspondence with the CWGC since 2012 trying to make them alter the erroneous name of Kalyan’s mother. What is needed is documentation, and if you have a copy of KALYAN-PRADEEP that could be just the ticket.
By the way, Nasiriya surrendered on July 25,1916 and the town named Bijit you could not trace is almost certainly Nasiriya – ‘bijit’ in this case being the Bengali term for ‘conquered’.

Regards,

J. Sircar
