Marquess of Sligo In Indian Mutiny Tale
Lord Altamont became the marquess of Sligo after his father’s death. His father served in India and was at Bankipur when the mutiny began. The family fled to a rebel‑surrounded fort for a fortnight. Their infant son was hidden by an Indian nurse who dyed his skin to pass as her child. The boy was later restored as siege of Monghyr continued. The new marquess recently marked his silver wedding with a telegram from Scotland reading Twenty five years without regret.
