AGRAM CEMETERY

Waging a war for the dead soldier

The retired chief of Indian Navy battles alone to restore and conserve a war cemetery in Bengaluru.

By Poornima Dasharathi

Bengaluru's Agram Cemetery is situated behind the ASC Officers Mess, off Trinity Road. Its tombstones, dating back to early 19th century, tell tales of brave soldiers who died on the battlefield. The grave itself is a monument to the era's architecture. But sadly, the cemetery is in a neglected state. It is left to Admiral Dawson, retired Chief of the Indian Navy, to fight a lone battle to restore and conserve the same by raising funds and awareness.
