About the memorial: During an attack on the fort at Kalunga, during the Anglo–Nepalese War of 1814 – 1816, Lieut. Luxford took a light gun as close as he could to fire it into the breach; and was mortally wounded in so doing on 27 November 1814. There is another memorial to him in St. John’s churchyard, Meerut. It has this inscription: “Sacred to the memory of Lieut. John B. B. Luxford of the Bengal Horse Artillery, who fell mortally wounded in the attack of Fort Kalanga [sic] on the 27th, and died on the 30th November 1814, aged 22 [sic] years. This cenotaph is erected by his brother officers in testimony of their affection and esteem.”
