| Sir Keith Alexander in Kaboul |
| Posted: Anne Mc @ Fri Dec 04, 2009 12:11 am |
I am a descendant of William John Jackson living in Wellington, NZ. I am privileged to have passed down to me a mourning ring engraved with the name of Sir John Jackson and the date 17 May 1820. I have been told that it is the mourning ring that he wore after his wife Honoria died. Was that soon after they arrived in NZ? It contains a lock of hair which I believe was hers.
I am keen to learn more about Sir Keith Alexander Jackson, particularly the role he played in Afghanistan during the Campaign of the Army of the Indus. I first read about it in Artist Surveyors of Early New Zealand. Now I would like to know more about Sir Keith's associates during that period and whether he ever met Shah Shoojah, his son Prince Futty Jung or how well he knew the Shah's British commissary, Captain Johnson. Can anyone help with references?
