Old British Cemetery (Gilgit)

گلگت, Italy

The Old British Cemetery (Shina: گورا ‍قبرستان) is a graveyard in Gilgit, Gilgit–Baltistan, Pakistan. It was first established in July 1870 in the British Raj's Gilgit Agency, when it came to be known as "Hayward's Garden" in memory of British explorer George W. Hayward, who was the first person to

be laid to rest there. Before this, it was known as the "Jawahir Singh Bagh" (Urdu: جواہِر سِنگھ باغ) during the Dogra Raj.
