    There are 35 RAAF lads buried in 3 cemeteries in Myanmar (Burma). If you know of someone who might be able to assist with these photos I would be most appreciative.

    Taukkyan War Cemetery - 22

    Thanbyuzayat War Cemetery - 7

    There are 332 on the Rangoon memorial for a start:
    Someone may know how to bring them up with their grave reference.

    There COULD BE MORE THAN THESE FOUR:
    RANGOON WAR CEMETERY
    TAUKKYAN WAR CEMETERY
    THANBYUZAYAT WAR CEMETERY

    I had to go through 11,200+ one by one to get mine so 400 odd should be a breeze.

    Hi,

    Just for informations sake really, all the men at Rangoon War Cemetery perished as POW's in Rangoon Jail. They were generally captured during the retreat out of Burma in 1942, mostly I would say around the oilfields at Yenangyaung.
