About the memorial: A brass plaque with a single line engraved border. Royal Engineers crest in the top left corner. The nearest option on the drop-down menu was Colonial India, but Lieutenant Garstin was in fact killed in Tibet during the 1904 invasion of that country led by Colonel Francis Younghusband. This was intended to counteract any Russian plans to do the same, in the days of the Great Game. A campaign medal was issued to those who took part.
