Is there some kind of local charity to prevent that happening ?

@Bombardier THERE is none but we are willing to act if there is a sponsor- my maternal grandfathers great grandfather fought along the english companys side in this battle along with seven other cousins two of whom were killed in action.meanwhile my paternal grandfathers great grandfather was serving in sikh artillery on the opposing side

If you guys there were to create a group in order to save this fantastic and important area I am sure we could drum up support.

In fact perhaps if you raised the issue with the Commonwealth War graves Commission they may take action ?

@Bombardier Unfortunately CWGC only looks after the dead from WW1 & WW2
