Garrison Cemetery, Srirangapatna

If you have a visit in Mysore. Then come to Srirangapatna to visit Garrison Cemetery. Here under the graveyard the soldiers of British Indian army and their family members are laid down during 1800-1860.

Place is largely neglected. No maintenance by locals or govt.

Tucked away to the right of a canal on the way to Mayura Hoysala, an incredibly serene cemetery with French mercenaries buried with British soldiers and their families. By the the river and with mango and other tress.

wonder to know place like this still existed... it's just behind Parivarthana School, entrance not maintained, once can visit people.

Garrison Cemetery is located in Srirangapattam n is a historical landmark. The graves of European Soldiers is present here, time period 1800-1860.
80 graves belong to the Regiment de Meuron Switzerland, the Britushers or East India Company used these mercenaries stationed in Ceylon in its battles of colonial expansion.
The Cemetery is maintained by Jean de Meuron n Dr Sophie of the De Meuron family from Switzerland.
In 2007 , Louise De Meuron n his wife Monique visited the Cemetery, they were shocked n saddend by the poor maintenance n crumbling structures, they undertook the renovation, they had spent INR 3 million till date.
Many grave stones with inscriptions have gone missing n some seem to be deliberately erased or the engravings smoothness off!
It is a great historical monument and the government must atleast make sure vandals don't have a free run in here!

Must visit place .. at early morning or evenings..
