Napoleon’s Parsi servant
Vincent Cronin in his biography of Napoleon Bonaparte records that Napoleon whilst a prisoner between 1815 to 1821 in St. Helena, a remote island in the Atlantic Ocean, had engaged an islander who was a Parsi as his servant.
Can any reader of Parsiana identify this adventurous Parsi or give a hint how he can be identified?
