Was Egerton ever in India?

I had to consult Egerton’s book about something and an old question just popped up in my mind: where did he get his collection from?a

I went to his Wiki bio and there was nothing. But I distinctly remember that years ago I have read that he had to cut his sojourn in India short to stand for election in England. Can’t find the reference, though and ... start suspecting incipient Alzheimer’s.

Does anybody here have firm answer: yes or no? ( not about my Alzheimer’s, but about Egerton and India)?
