Commonwealth War Cemetery

This beautifully-kept cemetery is the last resting place for 364 Commonwealth servicemen who died at Trinco during WWII, most of them during a 1942 Japanese raid that sank over a dozen vessels. The amiable caretaker, whose knowledge of the cemetery is encyclopedic, offers a guided tour of specific graves, pointing out the 13 nationalities buried here.
