I really enjoyed watching and reading "Jewel in the Crown" . The Jallianvala Bagh massacre was mentioned in the series . Does anyone know which regiment(s) were involved ?

It was a Gurkha Regiment I believe under British Officers

Thank you Patrick . Wasn't your grandfather governor of the Punjab at the time ?

I think it was my son!!

Seriously though, Sir Michael O'Dwyer came from the O'Dwyer heartland around Kilnamanagh. We hail from further south. Very distant if any relation at all. I have a paper clipping of the event somewhere I'll see if I can dig out. PM me if I forget.

50 Indian Riflemen, 40 Gurkhas and two armoured cars were at Jallianwallah Bagh under General Dyer on 13 April 1919

Thank you for the information .
I'm glad to discover my grandfather wasn't part of it .
Which county is Kilnamanagh ?

TIPPERARY - but is a long long way from the Punjab

EDIT:: I think this post just promoted me! and to think my grandad was 12 years in and left a PRIVATE!!

I have an ancestor from Tipperary , so maybe he's my grandfather ?

Stranger things no doubt have happened!
