Kanchanaburi War Cemetery, Kanchanaburi Overview
The Kanchanaburi War Cemetary is the larger of Kanchanaburi's two war cemeteries and is adjacent to the Saeng Chuto Road. Out of 6982 prisoners of war (POWs) buried here, nearly half were British; the rest came mainly from Australia and the Netherlands. The remains of American POWs were repatriated. This place also records the names of 11 men of the army of undivided India buried in Muslim cemeteries.
This allied war cemetery consists of graves of not just prisoners of war but also local workers and other soldiers who died during the construction of the Death Railway. The Japanese and Korean guards' brutality was one of the main reasons for so many deaths. The plaques on the graves are of great significance. It was designed by Colin St Clair Oakes and immaculately maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC).
