Excerpt: Caroline Mary Luard (died 24 August 1908) was the victim of an unsolved murder known as the Seal Chart Murder after she was mysteriously shot and killed at an isolated summerhouse in a heavily wooded area near Ightham, Kent.

However, it was rumoured that Durnford s orders had been stolen from his body after the battle in order to absolve Lieutenant-General Fr...We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
