| dbo:abstract |
The Kanchanaburi War Cemetery (known locally as the Don-Rak War Cemetery) is the main prisoner of war (POW) cemetery for victims of Japanese imprisonment while building the Burma Railway. It is on the main road, Saeng Chuto Road, through the town of Kanchanaburi, Thailand, adjacent to an older Chinese cemetery. The cemetery contains 6,982 graves of British, Australian and Dutch prisoner of wars of which 6,858 have been identified. (en) Erebegraafplaats Kanchanaburi (Don Rak) is een van de drie rustplaatsen voor de slachtoffers van de Dodenspoorlijn. Hier liggen de stoffelijke resten van 6.982 Australische, Britse en Nederlandse krijgsgevangenen. De begraafplaats is door de Nederlandse overheid erkend als officieel Nederlands ereveld. Het ereveld ligt in de Thaise stad Kanchanaburi, ongeveer 129 kilometer ten westen van de hoofdstad Bangkok. Het eerste dat bezoekers zien als ze het ereveld betreden, is een groot marmeren kruis ter nagedachtenis aan de slachtoffers. Het is niet bekend hoeveel Nederlandse slachtoffers hier precies liggen; veel graven zijn anoniem. (nl) |
