Photos of Kanchanaburi War Cemetery

Opposite the train station, the cemetery contains 6,982 tombstones from Allied prisoners of war from Britain, the Netherlands, Australia, Malaysia, India, New Zealand, Canada and Burma, who died while building the "Death Railway". In the cemetery, the grass is green, the flowers are in full bloom, and thousands of marble tombstones the size of 16K paper are neatly arranged. Given how old the POWs were when they died, many were heartbreakingly young.
