Post by: liverpool annie on Wednesday 24 January 07 20:43 GMT (UK)

Here is an incredible  labour of love .... I hope it helps somebody ! It is a great find.

LAE WAR CEMETERY was commenced in 1944 by the Australian Army Graves Service and handed over to the Commission in 1947. It contains the graves of men who lost their lives during the New Guinea campaign whose graves were brought here from the temporary military cemeteries in areas where the fighting took place. The Indian casualties were soldiers of the army of undivided India who had been taken prisoner during the fighting in Malaya and Hong Kong.
