About this audio guide
This guide to St. George's Cathedral in Agra opens with a British military engineer's 1828 design for a garrison church meant to serve East India Company troops stationed within sight of the Taj Mahal. Inside, it turns to the stone memorial tablets lining the walls, naming officers and soldiers of the East Surrey Regiment who came from southern England and never went home. Read the names for yourself from where you're standing before moving further into the nave.
