Photograph of a British cemetery near Sevastopol. Gravestones, of different shapes and sizes, are arranged in rows with an obelisk memorial at the centre. Behind the graves there is a stone wall with a tall flagpole at the corner to the right. There are cracking marks on the photograph where the negative was damaged. Before they left the Crimea in 1856 the British created a number of cemeteries where regiments had camped during the Siege of Sevastopol.
