Watford Cemetery,
Somerset
Watford military cemetery contains memorials to soldiers and their
families from 1853-1899. Here the Queen's Regiment honoured their
comrades, who died of yellow fever in the 1864 epidemic. This cemetery
became the final resting place of four Grenadier guardsmen who died
when the 2nd Battalion was stationed in Bermuda in 1891. Here,
in this place of serene beauty, lie the graves of soldiers from
many different regiments. One memorial records the respect
for a prisoner and nearby, in unconsecrated ground, convicts were
buried from 1849.
