Taiping War Cemetery, Commonwealth war memorial in Taiping, Malaysia.
The cemetery contains over 850 white granite headstones marking the graves of soldiers who died during World War II and the Malayan Emergency.
Major J.H. Ingram established the cemetery in 1946 to consolidate remains of British and Commonwealth soldiers from various battle locations across the region.
The cemetery layout respects religious beliefs with separate sections for Christian and non-Christian graves, including Muslim burials oriented toward Mecca.
The cemetery opens daily to visitors near Bukit Larut, offering parking facilities and detailed information about each soldier's rank and service details.
Among the graves lies Squadron Leader Arthur Stewart King Scarf, who received the Victoria Cross posthumously as one of the first RAF casualties in Malaya.
