Memorial Monuments Tour

          The memorial monuments in Myanmar, which are War Cemeteries and Dead Railway are maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves commission.

Than Byu Za Yat
About 34 km from Mawlamyine is Thanbyuzayet, an Allied War Memorial Cemetery for the prisoners of War who lost their lives in the building of famous Death Railway across the River Kwai. Most of them were Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia.

Dead Railway Cemetery
South of Mudon, little traffic is seen and the hills to the east grow more densely forested. Thanbyuzayat (Tin Shelter), 30km south of Mawlamyaing, was the western terminus of the infamous Burma- Siam Railway, dubbed the 'Death Railway' by the thousand of Allied prisoners of war (POWs) and Asian coolies who were forced by the Japanese military to built it.

World War II Cemetery
Htaukkyant War Cemetery is the largest of the three war cemeteries in Myanmar. It was built 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 memorial cemetery is located at the entrance to Htaukkyant, a small town about 30 kilometers away from Yangon. There are 27,000 stone cenotaphs for the Allied soldier killed in action in the Burma Campaign during the Second World War. Most of those buried were British, but there are also American, Dutch and Australian soldiers. The cemetery is beautifully landscaped. The other is 'Chindit' cemetery containing many of those who died in the battle for Myitkyina.
