.. Stilwell Road from India to Burma for sustaining the Allied Forces. Most deaths were due to malaria, dysentery, weather, snake bites and accidents. Very few from bullets. This road was also called the 'man-a-mile' Road due to the high number of casualties.

The Cemetary is spread over 3 acres & the graves are laid out in 5 columns & several rows all around. It was found in the 90s in a dilapidated state. Elephants & grave robbers had done the damage. Gen JJ Singh as Governor, got the Cemetary restored. Now again in poor state. 😞

There is even the grave of a Chinese soldier who apparently died in a jeep accident and is buried here along with his jeep. Bricks with brand names Ledo AR& T Co, Brick fields, B&C 119 and IRN C9 were found to have been used.

As can be seen, its in a poor and unmaintained state. There is a museum on site but there was no one to open it for us to see. I request the Honorable @ArunachalCMO and @BrigMishra, honorable Governor to please restore this Cemetary. Its the least we can do for the fallen. 🙏🏽
