Possibly Peshawar Jamrud Road Cemetery?

"Also known as the Gora Qabristan. Most British military and administrative burials would have been located here. Partial records survive and have been published, including some connected with St. John's Church in the cantonment."

There is a FIBIS Fibiwiki page Peshawar, which contains a link to an article about the cemeteries. https://wiki.fibis.org/w/Peshawar#Cemeteries

There is also some information about Cemetery books, and Index information from these books is available online from BACSA Search.

As a general rule British era cemeteries in Pakistan, if they still survive,  are in very poor condition due to vandalism, indifference and religious intolerance.
