The Cemetery

Just to your right as you face the main entrance to the former General Hospital  there is a signposted path leading down towards the sea to the British Cemetery. The first part of the cemetery holds Queen Victoria’s monument and some marked war graves. Many of the gravestones tell a sad and evocative tale. Old Mr. Ward, storekeeper at the Barrack Hospital, and Mrs. Ward died of cholera within a few days of each other. A young man was being invalided home but was killed in a collision at sea. The son of a peer died at Scutari of wounds received at the battle of Balaclava. And so on. Under the extensive unmarked turf also lie many of the nearly 5000 British ordinary soldiers who died of wounds or sickness in the Barrack and General Hospitals nearby. This cemetery in Florence Nightingale’s day occupied a beautiful spot on a cliff overlooking the Bosphorus. Now it overlooks the shipping terminal and railway tracks, except that a screen of rather scruffy trees obscures the view. From this first cemetery a path leads further south to another cemetery containing military dead from later wars and a large number of graves of local British residents.

Lieutenant-General Sir Drury Curzon Drury-Lowe GCB (3 January 1830 – 1908)

had a distinguished military career in the 19th century British Army. He was born on 3 January 1830 and educated privately at his home, Locko Park near Spondon in Derbyshire, before gaining a BA at Corpus Christi College, Oxford. He joined the 17th Lancers in 1854 as a Cornet. He was commissioned a Lieutenant in November 1854 and Captain in November 1856.
He served in the Crimean War at the Battle of Chernaya River and was at the Siege of Sevastopol when it fell. He also saw service in the Indian Mutiny in 1858–1859. He purchased a commission as Major in 1862, and was promoted to Lieutenant-Colonel in 1866 -  Sometime between 1862 and 1867 he assumed the surname Drury-Lowe in place of Lowe.
