Add PhotosThe cantonment of Chakrata, was an isolated Hill Station popular with the British forces, since its altitude of 2100m (7000 ft) meant that soldiers and their families were spared having to endure the intense summer heat of the lowlands. The cantonment is situated on two strategically significant hills, Chakrata and Kailana, which are linked by a lower ‘rump' of land. Chakrata Cemetery was one of the civil and cantonment cemeteries which the British authorities felt would be impossible to maintain after India gained independence in 1947. Steps were taken therefore to erect a Memorial in Madras (now known as Chennai) for those whose graves are in cemeteries which were expected not, in future, to be accessible.
