294 Commemorative Tablet at Basrah.
Sir Robert Grant and the Members of Council at Bombay, in
admiration of the labors and exertions with which the Expedition
had surmounted its many and great difficulties up to the above moment,
and sympathising in the unhappy fate of the brave men who died,
have raised this monument to their memory. And the British
Residents in India with a generous and charitable liberality at the
same time collected largely to afford pecuniary relief for the surviving
relatives.
