European Soldiers Graves, Karnal
A small walled cemetery of European soldiers of the Bengal Army at Karnal, with graves from the early-nineteenth-century cantonment period before 1857. Simple sandstone and plaster memorials to officers, surgeons and privates who died of cholera and sunstroke on the up-country stations — one of the few surviving pre-Rebellion European cemeteries on the Delhi-Lahore road.
