I've since read a little bit about the man over the years in webpages like yours and in a facsimile biography I bought on Amazon. I wondered where he was buried. Do you have any idea? That would be great, thanks.<br />https://flic.kr/p/ZqVyXd wanderer of the archipelagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13439655925930985183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3265077437591138041.post-51475206065386725142016-10-14T09:37:46.666-07:002016-10-14T09:37:46.666-07:00Hi there, my son and I are researching Sir General...Hi there, my son and I are researching Sir General Baird as he was our ancestor my Granny was a Baird.

I've wondered for a while if the gushing inscriptions on the Baird Monument were really from the heart of the local people or whether they were a colonial PR job by Baird's family. I get the impression from what you've written that overall he really was well thought of and quite a man. Someone they should make a movie about in fact!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17895745331609007874noreply@blogger.com
