The Englishman's Gravestone

Monkeys Sit on the Englishman's Grave

In the foreground is the grave of an Englishman, a soldier in 19th Century, British-controlled India. In the background is the grave of a tiger.

The Englishman and the tiger met one day and fought. The tiger attacked the Englishman and the Englishman shot the tiger. Both died from their wounds and were buried where they fell.

The tiger’s grave has an interesting story too. That one is still to come…
