Chittagong War Cemetery, Commonwealth military cemetery in Dampara, Chittagong, Bangladesh
The cemetery contains 731 Commonwealth graves from World War II, arranged in organized rows across meticulously maintained grounds with stone markers and inscriptions.
Established in 1945, this burial ground initially housed 400 graves before additional transfers from isolated sites expanded its role as a central memorial location.
Regular memorial services at the cemetery bring together local residents and international visitors to honor soldiers from multiple Commonwealth nations and other countries.
Located 22 kilometers north of the airport and 8 kilometers from the port, the cemetery features a tarmac lane leading to two brick chapels.
The cemetery grounds incorporate a combination of jungle trees, fruit trees, and flowering plants, transforming former paddy fields into a memorial space.
