ritish officers who served in India not only made significant impact on the country’s history and art but also on the lifestyles of the locals. True, some are to be forgotten but tons of it, have to be remembered.  These will continue to impact the society even today. Taking a closer look at the life, lifestyles and beliefs of these officers, one can generate so much interest. There was this Eton and Oxford – educated Captain Julian Henry Francis Grenfell (1888 – 1915), who in a letter to his mother during the First World War wrote “I adore war. It is like a big picnic”. Interestingly in the Victorian Era, gentleman officers on  campaign continued to live as sumptuously as their Georgian predecessors. Whether in India or Vancouver, these gentlemen officers were bent upon preserving their identity as British subjects living abroad. Their empire was portable, and they took Britain with them wherever they went.. The Victorian rage for wicker found special place in British Colonies, where the material suited the rigors of the climate. Wicker wrappings both insulated and protected bottles from breakage during a journey on rough roads, baskets of every kind transported water–soaked wicker covered bottles kept liquid cool. This Wicker Caned Bottle and all this wicker listing forms a part of the collection of The STEVE BORGIA INDIAN HERITAGE MUSEUM.
