| I found it difficult to guess why just a handful of graves have been selected at the Bandariabagh Cemetery, Lucknow * The Devlali, Maharashtra Cantt. cemetery photos are from my friend BRIAN FERNANDEZ, a retired teacher from Barns School. |
 |
| Graves in Lucknow have been done somewhat differently! Three years ago when I first saw the CWGC 'temporary marker' in what was at one time was the Lucknow Cantonment Cemetery, later changed to Bandariabagh Cem., I wondered why would they remove century-old headstones that were in perfect condition. In 2012 also I saw the same type of changes in a Nainital Cemetery. |
