The majority of these entries are extracted from BACSA's Cemetery Record Books recording burials in more than forty cemeteries in India and elsewhere in South Asia and the East.

Each book lists identifiable graves in a particular cemetery. Many of the books give more details of the deceased than are listed in this database, including sometimes the inscriptions on the gravestones. The database gives the title of the relevant cemetery.

Unpublished details of some individual cemeteries are also given, together with data on a large number of burials compiled by Lt-Col H K Percy-Smith and Brigadier Humphry Bullock.

Finally, there is a large database of memorial inscriptions in the United Kingdom and elsewhere relating to persons connected with South Asia.
