On it 6,982 allied soldiers are buried, all victims from WW II, most who died during the construction of the infamous Death Railway from Thailand to  Burma.Unlike mass graves in which soldiers were in the past sometimes dumped, each soldier, whether a general or a private, has his own named grave, whilst the tombstones of unknown victims who fell are inscribed with the words Known Unto God, a text coined by the writer Rudyard Kipling, author of The Jungle Book, after he had pressed his only son Jack to join the army and whom died in action in WWI while his body was never retrieved. 回
