On the 18th March 2015 I finally arrived at Kanchanaburi again to complete the parts I had missed on my last journey. This time however I went by taxi, a friend I had known for some time took me. The fare for the whole day was only 2500 Baht, but I did buy him a meal and drinks while on the journey. Plus the usual tip for the day. Giving this tip gets you a better day rate, but you need to talk to the driver or know him for this to work. The drive which took in Samut Sakhon, then Ratchaburi and onto Kanchanaburi, commenced at 06.30 am and took around 2 hours. Arriving at Kanchanaburi about 08.30 am. First port of call was the cemetery I had missed the last trip. Don Rak or Kanchanaburi War Cemetery, located on Sang Chuto road. There are 6,982 former POWs buried in this cemetery mostly Australian, British and Dutch. There are 1,896 Dutch war graves, the rest being from Britain and the Commonwealth. Those who died, were originally buried in makeshift graves at various locations along the Death Railway line. After the war ended, Don Rak cemetery was established ( in its current form ) in February 1956 as a memorial to the fallen with the names, ages and regiments of the soldiers engraved on the headstones, where the identity of a soldier is unknown a simple inscription reads - A soldier of the 1939 - 1945 war, known unto God. Like Chung Kai cemetery the memorials of the men were arranged so regimental in rows, and surrounded by well tended flower beds and the grass walking areas all kept cut and trimmed. Many Thai workers that day were cutting the grass, weeding the gardens and generally keeping the cemetery looking as though someone cares about the place. The Thai people take great pride in looking after both these two Cemeteries. I felt so sad to see all the epitaphs in the entrance building it was a very moving experience to stop & think of those men who had died on this railway. I know it was war, but how they died was not fair, was not good, was not humane.
