North of Yangon on the road to Bago lies the large and impressive Htauk Kyant War Cemetery, well maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. Here are the graves of over 6,000 allied soldiers killed in the Burma and Assam campaigns of WWII. There is also a memorial listing the names of another 27,000 who died, but whose bodies have found no known grave.
On my visit, workers were collecting fallen frangipani blossoms, with their heavenly scent, for export to China. |
