Cemetery of the soldiers of WWII in Karachi

This War Cemetery was built in 1957 in Karachi, Pakistan. There are 642 head stones of those who served and died in the World War II, there is also a special wall built on which names are engraved of those who died in World War I .

This place is beautiful, serene, peaceful and well maintained, where there are only 3 gardeners and a manager/supervisor and they are working for years now. This cemetary has been looked after by the CommonWealth War Graves Commission UK. There is also one more interesting thing in this cemetery and that is a book in which there are names of 25000 pilots, soldiers who died during the WW II and there graves are unidentified. This book was handwritten by a person from Sialkot in 1957 and it has been kept there since then.
The place is named as Karachi War Cemetery.
