Description
English: The Officers' Cemetery, Cathcart-Hill, before Sebastopol. Illustration for The Illustrated London News, 16 June 1855.


We need only state the names which these unostentatious monuments bear. Commencing from the left, the grave with the pointed headstone and the low cross at the feet is the "narrow home" of Brigadier-General Fox Strangeways. Next, with the head-cross and the plain footstone, is the grave of Sir George Cathcart, after whom the hill is named. The column, surmounted with a cross, is inscribed to Lieutenant-Colonel Seymour, of the Scots Fusilier Guards. Beyond it, leftward, is the grave of Brigadier-General Thomas Leigh-Goldie; and that to the right is the resting place of Lieut. Tryon, of the Rifle Brigade. Read the ILN
