This cemetery is under the control of the ASC Officers' Mess and permission from them is needed to enter the cemetery. There are Protestant graves from 1813 to 1867. When I last visited it in 1994, it was extraordinarily overgrown, even by Indian standards. However, since then, Admiral Dawson has done a fantastic job cleaning it up and documenting it. Ronnie Johnson has created a database of the headstones in this cemetery. For photos of the Agram cemetery, visit Ronnie's page on the Agram Cemetery | This cemetery is under the control of the ASC Officers' Mess and permission from them is needed to enter the cemetery.
