Churchill's unpaid India bill on show
Former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill still owes the exclusive Bangalore Club in southern India 13 rupees in unpaid bills.
An entry in the ledger book of the club from June 1899 has "Lt WLS Churchill" named as one of 17 defaulters.
Churchill arrived in Bangalore in 1896 as a young army officer and left three years later to fight in the North-West Frontier - now in Pakistan.
The Bangalore club was formed in 1868 by a group of British officers.
Today, it is one of India's most elite clubs, retaining much of its late 19th- and early 20th-Century splendour.
