Historical Information: The site was originally selected for a war cemetery in January 1944, but the development of the battle during the first five months of that year made it impossible to use it until after the Germans had withdrawn from Cassino. During these early months of 1944, Cassino saw some of the fiercest fighting of the Italian campaign, the town itself and the dominating Monastery Hill proving the most stubborn obstacles encountered in the advance towards Rome. The greater part of the soldiers buried in the war cemetery lost their lives in the battles during these months. Within the cemetery stands the Cassino Memorial, which commemorates over 4,000 men of the Commonwealth land forces who gave their lives during the campaign in Sicily and Italy and have no known graves.

Historical information: Before 1939 the Kranji area was a military camp, and at the time of the Japanese invasion of Malaya was the site of a large ammunition magazine. On February 8, 1942, the Japanese crossed the Johore Straits in strength, landing at the mouth of the Kranji River within two miles of where the war cemetery now stands. On the evening of February 9th, they launched an attack between the river and the causeway. During the next few days fierce fighting ensued, in many cases hand to hand, until their vastly superior numbers forced a British withdrawal. After the fall of the island the Japanese set up a prisoner of war camp at Kranji, and eventually a hospital was organized. The small cemetery set up at Kranji by the prisoners was the origins of the large war cemetery created by the Army Graves Service after the war ended.

Historical Information: THANBYUZAYAT WAR CEMETERY is a village in Burma, 64 kilometres from Moulmein and 24 kilometres from Amherst. THANBYUZAYAT (pronounced Tunboozyat) took its name from the Than Byu Zayat-which may be translated as "white iron" resting place. Iin January 1943 a base hospital was organised for the sick, then numbering 600, but in March, the patients were sent to a new "hospital base" a few kilometres away at Retpu. However, in May the Retpu hospital was closed and the patients were transferred back to Thanbyuzayat. Between March and June 1943 the administration headquarters and the hospital, situated close to a railway marshalling yard and workshops, were visited three times by Allied bombers, once in March and twice in June, and numerous casualties among the prisoners of war occurred. The camp was then evacuated and the prisoners, induding the sick, were marched to camps further along the line where camp hospitals were set up. For some time, however, Thanbyuzayat continued to be used as a reception centre for the groups of prisoners arriving at frequent intervals to reinforce the parties working on the line up to the Burma-Thai border. Thanbyuzayat War Cemetery lies at the foot of the hills which separate Burma from Thailand and is one of the three cemeteries in which are buried men who lost their lives in the building of the Burma-Siam railway. It was created by the Army Graves Service for the assembly of graves found in camp burial grounds or isolated sites along the railway track between Moulmein and Nieke, which is just over the border in Thailand. The total number of burials is 3,771.
