The Fourth Division Burial-ground, on Cathcart's Hill, Crimea, 1856. Crimean War. 'This Illustration possesses a melancholy interest, and will naturally be appreciated by those in England whose relatives and friends have fallen in battle and at the siege, and now rest upon Cathcart's Hill...[Shown here are] deceased officers' tombs, with their names...The tombs of the officers of the 68th Regiment are alike - red Maltese marble; those of the 57th, white marble; and the 63rd, stone crosses. A very handsome memorial is shown, in jet-black marble, to Sir R. Newman, Grenadier Guards. The monument erected to General Cathcart by the officers of the Fourth Division is one of the finest works; and the stone slab to poor Curtis, of the 46th, has been much admired. The situation is on the highest ground occupied by the Allied armies, commanding a view of the remains of Sebastopol'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
