This cemetery is located just outside the grounds of Fort Napier Hospital and next to Pietermaritzburg prison.

It contains graves from the Anglo Zulu War, Boer War and First and Second Wars.







More information on the First and Second World War graves is available from the CWGC

The cemetery was locked when we arrived so this is a destination for another visit.

Colonel Anthony William Durnford of Isandlwana fame is buried here.

Brett has posted a picture of the graves of the Gage brothers who are buried here. www.angloboerwar.com/forum/17-memorials-...rg-the-gage-brothers

Thanks for all the photo's of the places you have visited, the last time I was at this cemetery I ended up scaling the fence to get in, but I was younger then.

Jon,

We should probably have done the same. It was a shame to have been so close and not to have gained entry but I will know for next time. Our guide on the day suggested the gates would have been open in the morning whereas we arrived mid afternoon.

I am pleased to see the cemetery in good condition, with original memorials, the overwhelming majority of its occupants are an awful long way from their families and homes.

Thank You for the list of names.
I was able to find 12 from the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers.(RIF)
Tragically I noticed: Arthur, 5589 Boy R H, Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers. I wonder what age he was?
I am planning a trip to the RIF Museum in the spring, I may be ble to find out?
