      I'm so surprised but pleased that you niw know this. Having followed the gorgeous Billy for decades, apart from his being THE number one comedian, I've always loved him for his humble, polite, down to earth manner. Just love the man.

      Very much possible. Your Great Great Grandfather must have been from British Indian Army! 1857 to 1890

      Seeing as the british had the power, I guess it's technically a mutiny. I don't blame the Indians for carrying out the mutiny though.

      Well she did say "as they would call it", referring to those soldiers.

      It's called a mutiny because the Indian soldiers mutinied.. it's literally what happened, not a belittling term. Indian soldiers employed by the British mutinied and fought against them. If it had been non-soldiers, then it would just have been called a rebellion or something.
