I visited Taukkyan War Cemetry in February 2012 to pay my respects to my Taid's (Grandad's) brother who died in 1944.

As is normal, this Commonwealth War cemetery is beautifully kept and just to wander down the lines of memorials and to give thanks to these brave men is something very worthwhile. 27,000 names and a huge number of Indians and Africans who left their homes and countries to fight for freedom. We will remember them. More

On the road from Yangon to Prome is this large Allied Cemetery. Row after row of grave, and long lists of the missing dead, remind you of all the young men who died. Individual grave markers, personalized with messages from the grieving relatives, are especially poignant. More

Beautifully maintained, as it should be. Lots of reflection and respect. It's good to see the effort that goes in to this place - we need to remember the war dead and never forget the prices they paid. More
