About 125km north of [[Delhi]], it had a military cantonment which was abandoned in 1841 due to a massive spread of malaria caused by faulty irrigation. Following this, the cantonment at [[Umballa]] about 85 km away (north) was built in 1843 as a replacement. Not to be confused with [[Kurnool]] in the Madras Presidency. ==Spelling variants==Modern name: Karnal<br />Variants: Kurnaul ==External links==*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karnal Karnal] Wikipedia*[http://dsal.uchicago.edu/reference/gazetteer/pager.html?objectid=DS405.1.I34_V15_064.gif Karnal Town] Imperial Gazetteer of India ====Historical books online====*[http://www.archive.org/stream/annalsofkarnal00buckrich#page/n5/mode/2up ''The Annals of Karnal''] by Major CH Buck 1914 Archive.org**[http://www.archive.org/stream/annalsofkarnal00buckrich#page/34/mode/2up "Chapter 6 Churches and Cemeteries"] lists some of the inscriptions in the cemeteries.*Kurnaul in 1845 [http://books.google.com.au/books?id=bcwoAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA528 ''Missionary Register for 1845''], page 528 Google Books*[https://archive.org/details/gaz-karnal-1883/page/n7/mode/2up ''Gazetteer of the Karnal District 1883-4''] 1884.
