700 English soldiers on thier way to the Crimea, lose their life to a cholera break out in 1854 in Varna
Ref Number: 57
This rather tragic memorial to those British troops who died chiefly of cholera in June 1854 is located in the tiny city garden near Varna National School of Arts, on the junction of “Knyaz Boris I” Blvd. and “Naiden Gerov” Str., next to the Hotel Rosslyn Dimyat.
During the Crimean War in 1854, Varna was used as a staging point, alighting and then vittling British, French, and Turkish troops before sending them on to battle the Russians in Crimea. A military-style headstone located exactly where 700 English men are said to have been billeted and then died in droves from cholera.
