Historical Information: This cemetery is really the Extension of the Communal Cemetery, were the French Army had buried over I,000 men. The 46th (North Midland) Division took over the Extension with this part of the line in March, 1916, and their graves are in Rows A to F of Plot I. Successive Divisions used the French Military tramway to bring their dead in from the front trenches, and from the first row to the last buried them almost exactly in the order of date of death. The attack of the 25th Division on Vimy Ridge in May, 1916, is recalled in Plots I and II. The 47th (London) Division burials (July to October, 1916) are in Plot III, Rows A to H; and Canadian graves are an overwhelming majority in the rest of the cemetery, Plots V and VI containing the graves of men who fell in the capture of Vimy Ridge (April, 1917). Near the entrance of the Communal Cemetery the 29th Canadian Infantry Battalion erected a memorial cross to 85 of their officers and men. There are now nearly 2,000, 1914-18 war casualties commemorated in this site. The cemetery covers an area of 8,374 square metres.

Location Information: Taukkyan War Cemetery is outside Yangon (formerly Rangoon), near the airport and immediately adjoining the village of Taukkyan. It is on PY1 road (formerly Prome Road), about 35 kilometres north of the city from which it is easily accessible.
Historical Information: TAUKKYAN WAR CEMETERY is the largest of the three war cemeteries in Burma (now Myanmar). It was begun in 1951 for the reception of graves from four battlefield cemeteries at Akyab, Mandalay, Meiktila and Sahmaw which were difficult to access and could not be maintained. The last was an original 'Chindit' cemetery containing many of those who died in the battle for Myitkyina. The graves have been grouped together at Taukkyan to preserve the individuality of these battlefield cemeteries Burials were also transferred from civil and cantonment cemeteries, and from a number of isolated jungle and roadside sites. Because of prolonged post-war unrest, considerable delay occurred before the Army Graves Service were able to complete their work, and in the meantime many such graves had disappeared. However, when the task was resumed, several hundred more graves were retrieved from scattered positions throughout the country and brought together here. The cemetery now contains 6,374 Commonwealth burials of the Second World War, 867 of them unidentified. In the 1950s, the graves of 52 Commonwealth servicemen of the First World War were brought into the cemetery from the following cemeteries where permanent maintenance was not possible: Henzada (1); Meiktila Cantonment (8); Thayetmyo New (5); Thamakan (4); Mandalay Military (12) and Maymyo Cantonment (22). Taukkyan War Cemetery also contains: The RANGOON MEMORIAL, which bears the names of almost 27,000 men of the Commonwealth land forces who died during the campaigns in Burma and who have no known grave. The TAUKKYAN CREMATION MEMORIAL commemorating more than 1,000 Second World War casualties whose remains were cremated in accordance with their faith. The TAUKKYAN MEMORIAL which commemorates 45 servicemen of both wars who died and were buried elsewhere in Burma but whose graves could not be maintained.
No. of Identified Casualties: 5559
