Commonwealth war cemeteries near Yangon, Myanmar
A visit to the two Commonwealth war cemeteries in and near Yangon, Myanmar: Taukkyan, (the largest, north of Yangon), and Rangoon, close to the city centre.
Information from the CWGC website:
TAUKKYAN WAR CEMETERY is the largest of the three war cemeteries in Burma (now Myanmar). It was begun 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 last was an original 'Chindit' cemetery containing many of those who died in the battle for Myitkyina. The graves have been grouped together at Taukkyan to preserve the individuality of these battlefield cemeteries Burials were also transferred from civil and cantonment cemeteries, and from a number of isolated jungle and roadside sites. Because of prolonged post-war unrest, considerable delay occurred before the Army Graves Service were able to complete their work, and in the meantime many such graves had disappeared. However, when the task was resumed, several hundred more graves were retrieved from scattered positions throughout the country and brought together here. There are now 6,389 Second World War Commonwealth service persons buried or commemorated in this cemetery, 867 of which are unidentified. In the 1950s, the graves of 52 Commonwealth servicemen of the First World War were brought into the cemetery from the following cemeteries where permanent maintenance was not possible: Henzada (1); Meiktila Cantonment (8); Thayetmyo New (5); Thamakan (4); Mandalay Military (12) and Maymyo Cantonment (22). Taukkyan War Cemetery also contains: The RANGOON MEMORIAL, which bears the names of almost 27,000 men of the Commonwealth land forces who died during the campaigns in Burma and who have no known grave. The TAUKKYAN CREMATION MEMORIAL commemorating more than 1,000 Second World War casualties whose remains were cremated in accordance with their faith. The TAUKKYAN MEMORIAL which commemorates 46 servicemen of both wars who died and were buried elsewhere in Burma but whose graves could not be maintained.

In memory of my great uncle WJ Bromage Taukkyan War Cemetery - Myanmar
I started making this video 4 months ago in Thailand but discovered he was killed and buried in Burma during WW2. This is the reason for my trip to Myanmar.
Please note; when I got back from Taukkyan War cemetery I noticed my camera had reset to 25FPS I'm truly gutted I haven't got the quality I set out to do. :-(
