Description

Captain Witham and Roger Curtis in The Sortie Made by the Garrison of Gibraltar, 1789 by John Trumbull

The cemetery takes its name from Captain Witham, a British officer of the 18th century involved in the sieges of Gibraltar, said to be "a rather spirited gentleman, who enjoyed himself by digging up a garden over the night."^[1] The Gibraltar Naval Memorial notes that the U.S. Navy, in cooperation with the British, once moved graves from the Witham's Road Cemetery to the North Front Cemetery.^[2]
