While we have stayed in Kingussie overnight several times on our visits to North-West Scotland we were unaware of the presence of the graves belonging to the members of the Mule Companies of the RIASC, so did not have the opportunity to photograph the headstones. Dafadar Ali Bahadur was the only casualty buried in that Cemetery, among the nine Drivers laid to rest there, who had served under 70th Infantry Brigade. His headstone, as do those of his comrades, bears a Mohammedan symbol.
