Small British Cemetery inside Lawrence College Ghora Gali Murree Hills
These are photographs of English headstones and Small British Cemetery located along the wall of College Chapel Lawrence College Ghora Gali Murree Hills, Punjab, Pakistan. Here are graves of Late 19th and early 20th century. Dr. Qamar Zaman Resident Medical Officer of Thurley Hospital Lawrence College Murree told that these were the patients of Thurley Hospital who died of various small diseases due to non availability of antibiotics.
These British men, women and children died far away from their motherland and buried here in Lawrence College Ghora Gali Murree Hills. The administration of Lawrence College Ghora Gali Murree Hills deserves much appreciation who still saves the remains of these British people.
