The
Chong Kai War
Cemetery in
Kanchanaburi, where
1,750 victims of WW II are buried, mostly the remains of those who worked on
the
Death Railway.
Unlike mass graves in which soldiers in the past were often dumped, each
soldier, whether a general or a private, here has his own named grave,
whilst the tombstones of unknown victims who fell are inscribed with the
words Known Unto God, a text coined by the writer Rudyard Kipling.
