Guwahati War Cemetery

Guwahati War Cemetery was started during the Second World War for soldiers who died in the military hospitals around the city while being treated for war wounds. As burials grew and space ran short, the Army Graves Service took in graves from other burial grounds, including Amari Bari Military Cemetery, Guwahati Civil Cemetery and Sylhet Military Cemetery, and more land nearby was acquired in 1952.

The cemetery now has 521 graves. They include Commonwealth servicemen of the Second World War, Indian soldiers both named and unknown, and 24 soldiers of the Chinese army. It was the only one of India's nine World War cemeteries where Japanese soldiers were buried; the remains of those 11 men were later exhumed and taken back to Japan by the Japanese government.
