Photograph of men working in a British cemetery in the Crimea. The cemetery contains a number of simple gravestones, with the inscriptions clearly visible on most. Five men are gathered to the left, two digging a grave and one sanding down a block of stone. Beside them there is a gravestone lying flat on wooden planks. Behind the graves there is a stone wall with an open gateway to the right. Before they left the Crimea in 1856 the British created a number of cemeteries on the sites where regiments had camped during the Siege of Sevastopol.
