their graves can no longer be properly maintained. This total
includes the names of 629 servicemen whose remains were brought
from Bombay (Sewri) Cemetery for re-interment here in 1960.
On the same memorial are commemorated almost 200 East and West
African servicemen who died in non-operational zones in India
in the Second World War, and whose graves either cannot be located
or are so situated that maintenance is not possible. The memorial
stands within KIRKEE WAR CEMETERY, which was created to receive
Second World War graves from the western and central parts of
India where their permanent maintenance could not be assured.

World War. * Ahmadabad Cantonment Cemetery; Ahmednagar Government
