Kuala Lumpur Roman Catholic Cemetery

(Cheras Road)

At the time of the Japanese invasion of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur was the headquarters of the 3rd Indian Corps. Early in 1941 part of the recently raised 8th Division of the Australian Infantry Force was assigned to Malaya, a territory of strategic importance to Australia.

The headquarters divisional staff arrived on February 18th in advance of the main force, which numbered some 6,000 men, and the divisional headquarters and attached units were posted at Kuala Lumpur.

The Cemetery is situated south of Kuala Lumpur, to the left of Cheras Highway toll gates. It can be reached by turning left immediately after the toll gates. The Roman Catholic Cemetery is on high ground to the right, and will be found by crossing the car park and following the central, narrow tarmac road to the end. The Commonwealth war graves are to the left just before the Chapel.

The location or design of this site makes wheelchair access impossible.

There are in this Roman Catholic cemetery the graves of eleven soldiers who belonged to the United Kingdom Forces.

RAF Go Back To Malaya - The Story Of Dakota KN630

Anniversary of Dakota KN630 crash in Malaysian jungle.

Watch the incredible story documenting the 2008 recovery of the remains of the crew and passengers of RAF Dakota KN630.

For nearly 60 years their remains laid deep inside the Malaysian jungle in a shallow grave, but thanks to the misdirection of a letter to the Malaysian Tourist Office in November 2007 the crew and passengers of Royal Air Force Dakota KN630 were finally been laid to rest in the Cheras Road Commonwealth War Grave Cemetery in Kuala Lumpur in 2012 – 62 years after the aircraft went down.

The Dakota aircraft took off from Changi airfield in Singapore on 25th August 1950 on a target marking sortie for Lincoln Bombers tasked to destroy Communist insurgent camps. After one successful sweep the aircraft suffered catastrophic engine failure and crashed into a ravine killing all 12 on board including the RAF crew of three and four Royal Army Service Corps Despatchers. Due to the prevailing security risk and the inhospitable terrain, a rescue party were forced to bury the remains in makeshift graves close to the crash site.

58 years later, the 82-year-old brother of the aircraft’s navigator Geoffrey Carpenter wrote to the Malaysian Tourist Office asking for a map of the area but due to a twist of fate his letter fell into the hands of a military officer in the Malaysian High Commission in London who passed the details to colleagues in Kuala Lumpur.

“All I ever wanted was a map, just a map to see where he crashed” said Dennis Carpenter from Croydon in Surrey. “I knew he crashed somewhere in the jungle but I just wanted to see the spot for myself on a map.”

In 2008, an expedition funded by the Malaysian government was launched by a 150 strong team of military, police, specialist forensic archaeologists and civilian search teams, and in another stroke of luck on the last day of searching whilst facing rising flood waters, they recovered human remains. Following analysis, they were confirmed as belonging to the crew and passengers of the Dakota.

In 2012, following an extensive search by staff at the Ministry of Defence’s Service Personnel and Veterans Agency the relatives of all but one on board were traced and invited to attend the commemorative and committal service at the Cheras Road Commonwealth War Grave Cemetery. During a 40-minute ceremony Dennis was presented with the Union flag which dressed the single coffin in recognition of his determination and work to see all the crew and passengers receive the burial they deserved.

In a symbolic gesture, the single coffin was carried jointly by members of the Royal Air Force’s Queen’s Colour Squadron and 47 Air Despatch Squadron Royal Logistics Corps from whose former Commanding Officer Colonel Sean English read the exhortation; “There is something very personal to the air despatch community whenever you bury someone from that community. We hold our forbearers very dear and there is a clear linkage for the soldiers of today with the soldiers of the 1950s.

Following the burial service during which a lone bugler from the Royal Gurkha Rifles played the last post, the families were presented with Elizabeth crosses by the British Defence Adviser Captain Kenneth Taylor RN in recognition of the loss and sacrifice of their loved ones.
