Old Christian Cemetery, Abbottabad

The Old Christian Cemetery, Abbottabad (also known as the OCC, or the ''Gora Qabristan'' White-people's cemetery), is a cemetery situated in Abbottabad town, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly North-West frontier Province), Pakistan. It dates from British colonial times.〔Tarin,O & Najumddin, S, 'Five Early Military Graves at the Old Christian Cemetery, Abbottabad, 1853-1888' in ''The Kipling Journal'', UK, Vol. 84, No.339, December 2010, pp.35-52; ISSN 0023-1738〕
== History ==

The cemetery was established in 1853〔Tarin & Najumddin, p. 38〕 when James Abbott (Indian Army officer) founded Abbottabad town itself and for long, it remained the main Christian cemetery in the town and for the nearby Galyat hill tracts〔Although some few scattered graves are to be still found in several places in the district〕 and was later attached to St. Luke's Church, Abbottabad when it was completed in 1864.〔Tarin & Najumddin, pp. 38-39〕 The cemetery contains many interesting old graves and memorials.〔Irving, M & de Rhe-Philipe, ''Inscriptions on Christian Tombs and Monuments in the Punjab, the North-West Frontier Province, Kashmir and Afghanistan'', Orig. 1910-1912, 2 Parts; Reprint Aldershot, UK: Naval & Military Press, 2009, Part I, p.17〕 Most of these have Frontier military campaigns' connections and significance〔Irving & de Rhe-Philipe, Part II, p.19〕 for military historians, including the graves or tombs of Major Hugh Rees James,〔Irving & de Rhe-Philipe, Part II, p.183〕 Major Leigh Richmond Battye〔Irving & de Rhe-Philipe, Part II, pp. 21-22〕 and Colonel A W Crookshank, as well as others.〔For detailed list of tombs see Abbottabad, in Cemeteries List on main FIBIS UK Database http://new.fibis.org/frontis/bin/index.php Retrieved on 15 April 2012〕 The Rev. Henry Fisher Corbyn, of the Bengal Ecclesiastical Establishment, who spent long years here as Vicar, and who had previously served in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, and established a 'charitable home' there at Ross Island (Andaman)〔'Corbyn's Cove' there is also named after him. See George Weber ''Pioneer Biographies of the British Period to 1947'', np, nd, Appendix A〕 is also buried here. Also buried here is Lady Julia Helen Palmer (née Aylmer; died 1896) first wife of General Sir Arthur Power Palmer, a former Commander-in-Chief, India.〔FIBIS Cemeteries List, aa〕
