Introduction
The cemetery appears to date from the opening of the hospital at
Fort Pitt in the 1840’s.
The original portion is that lying south of the present main
entrance from City Way, (Section A).
The oldest surviving memorial is to John Potter, who died 5th
January 1847, two other memorials date from the same year, and the absence
of earlier memorials, suggests that the cemetery was operational from c.
1846. Expansion to the north eventually followed, and the northern-most
part is in use today. In 1909 a large monument to casualties of the Crimea
War and Indian Mutiny was built, close to the present entrance; a small weather-boarded
chapel is positioned about the middle of the cemetery. A standard 1st
World War stone "Cross of Sacrifice" is also situated in the
cemetery.
The sections are my own and do not relate to any official
sections.

Section A
is to the south of the entrance, is the oldest part.
Because of the rather scattered nature of the monuments in this section, I
have listed them alphabetically and not by position.
Section B
has far
fewer monuments, a row against the hedge, east of the chapel; a group just
south of the chapel, and one behind the chapel.
Section C
& Section D
lie to the north of the chapel, behind the
hedge. These sections contain mostly C.W.G.C. monuments, which can be
found on the Internet, and are excluded from this survey.
Section E
lies to the north of the next hedge.
The monuments in Section B are also listed alphabetically,
those in Sections C and D by rows. The rows are numbered east to west, the
graves from south to north.
There was one headstone (in Section B) which was face down
but this was lifted and found to be completely eroded.
A few stones are more or less illegible but where the name is
legible, I have included it, even if the rest of the detail has perished.

ERECTED BY THE OFFICERS OF THE

The Times, (August 5th 1868), reported
the accident which caused Marchment’s death at length.
While crossing a deep ditch on a spar bridge, during a practise
assault, Marchment and his fellow marines were, somehow held up and bunched
together at one end of the bridge. Unable to take such a concentrated weight at
one point, the bridge broke, causing the marines to fall into the ditch.
Unfortunately, during the siege operations, bayonets were fixed, and Marchment
received a severe bayonet wound in his chest, from which, he soon died. The
Inquest Jury returned a verdict of "Accidental Death"

ACCIDENTALLY KILLED IN A MOTOR COLLISION
The Times, March 18th 1908
LIEUTENANT ANTHONY CARROW, a promising young officer in the Royal
Engineers, met with a shocking death on the Rainham-road, Gillingham, on
Sunday evening. He and another officer had been out for a day’s run on a
tandem motor-bicycle, and at Rainham, on the return journey, a puncture
occurred. The friend decided to return by train, but Mr. Carrow continued
the journey on the bicycle. He had not proceeded more than two miles when
he came violently into collision with a four-wheeled van which was
proceeding in the opposite direction. The officer sustained terrible
injuries to his head, and was conveyed in a motor-car to Rochester
Hospital, where on admission he was found to be dead. The motor-bicycle
was smashed almost to atoms. Lieutenant Carrow who was 21, was educated at
Clifton College, and graduated first from the Royal Military Academy in
1906, with over 1,000 marks above the officer who took second place. In
his last term he secured the Armstrong memorial and the prize for
mathematics, mechanics, and electricity. He was, at the time of his death,
completing his initial course at the School of Military Engineering,
Chatham.

Second-Lieutenant Peter M. M. Moore, both of the Royal Engineers, were
sailing a dinghy on the Medway near Gillingham on Saturday when the boat
grounded on a mudbank and overturned. They attempted to swim ashore, but
as Mr. Minton-Senhouse was showing signs of exhaustion his friend helped
him back to the boat, where he left him clinging to the keel. Mr. Moore
then swam to the shore for assistance, but on returning with a boatman
found that Mr. Minton-Senhouse was missing. Mr. Minton-Senhouse, a young
officer, was gazetted recently. He joined the Royal Engineers Depot at
Chatham a few weeks ago.
