[...] The grave of the first officer who was buried after the army reached Candahar (he was murdered) was being dug into when the resurrectionists were disturbed by my gardener going to turn water of into the garden and a repetition of the attempt was alone prevented by my making the owner of the field responsible for the preservation of the tomb. [...] During the siege of Kalat-i-Ghiljye the fire that had been kindled to consume the corpse of a Hindoo native offictr was extinguished by the besiegers and the bodies of the camp followers they had cut up were the next day hacked with their spades by the cultivators who came to the spot to turn water into their fields.
