This page is a record of the headstones in the
Dibrugarh Cemetery from the 1800's
(kindly supplied by Larry Brown)
These are part of the record of the gravestones in the Dibrugarh Cemetery,
they are not in alphabetical order .
There are 39 pages in total and below are the first 8 pages only.
It therefore should give the reader an idea of what was written in the 1800's and
early 1900's about the deaths of those who served in North East Assam
If anyone wishes to further investigate a name not posted here , I will be happy
to try to find them in the remaining pages
