War Cemetery Digboi
Located very close to the border of the country Burma, Digboi served as an army camp for the Burmese campaign during the Second World War. The town was made the communications line centre and a hospital was established to treat the injured and casualties during the War. The Digboi war Cemetery started out as a burial ground for the dead bodies which came from the hospital. There were 70 recorded graves on the grounds of the original cemetery. After several shiftings from Panitola to Burma, the cemetery was finally relocated to Digboi during the 1960s. This was done because the initial land site was not only small in size but also prone to landslides and even got damaged from the earthquake of 1950. Now, it is a ground where you’ll find more than 200 burials.
