Summary
| Description |
English: A stylised calligraphic composition surmounted by an English-style insignia with the name Locksicker. The roundel gives the name of Captain Douglas. This is apparently Sir Thomas Monteath Douglas (1787-1868). He entered the East India Company's Bengal Army in 1806; served in many campaigns between 1809 and 1826; Lt-Colonel in 1834; ADC to Queen Victoria; left India about 1845; added the name of Douglas to his own in 1851; KCB and General in 1865. (C. F. Buckland, Dictionary of Indian Biography, New York 1968, p. 122). The emblem of a boar before an oak tree is apparently that of Sir Edward Robert Pearce Edgecombe (1851-1929)?
