14 August 2021

On 15 August, the Dutch dead of the Second World War in Southeast Asia will be commemorated at the military cemetery in Kanchanaburi. On the occasion of this commemoration, Lung Jan publishes a number of unique photos taken shortly after the Second World War in Thailand of military cemeteries, which have long since been cleared, where the victims of the construction of the infamous Burma railway were buried. This historically very important photographic material comes from the enormously rich and publicly released collection of the Australian War Memorial (AWM).
