The Landour Cemetery as seen covered in snow during the winter of 2011, on the north face of the Landour Chukkar. Established in 1828, the 1.5 acre cemetery spreads over both sides of the road. The oldest graves are of those who died in the malaria outbreak of 1848. There are also the graves of 13 World War I soldiers of the West Yorkshire Regiment. Engineer Proby Cautley who built the Ganga canal during East India Company rule is buried here, as is lieutenant-colonel Thomas Skinner of the Skinner regiment of the British Indian army. The cemetery also has a hundred-and-fifty-year-old cypress tree supposed to have been planted by the Duke of Edinburgh in 1871 (The Indian Express).
