Walking further round Dean Cemetery I found this monument to John Irving, Lieutenant on HMS Terror, one of only two men the remains of whose bodies were returned to the UK from the Franklin Expedition:-

Dean Cemetery is right next to the former Dean Gallery now known as Modern Two.

On a visit last May we took a stroll through the cemetery and I came across this, which appeared to be a Crimean War Memorial:-

The plaque reads, “In memory of 369 non-commissioned Officers and men of the 79th Highlanders who died in Bulgaria and the Crimea or fell in action during the campaign of 1854-5,” with beow that on the stone steps “Alma” and “Sevastopol”.

However, a plaque on the other side of the memorial is dedicated to the East Indies Campaign of 1857-1871:-

On the step below it is commemorated “Lucknow”:-
