Note: The area around Duisans was occupied by Commonwealth forces from March 1916, but it was not until February 1917 that the site of this cemetery was selected for the 8th Casualty Clearing Station. The first burials took place in March and from the beginning of April the cemetery grew very quickly, with burials being made from the 8th Casualty Clearing Station.

Note: Le Cateau remained in German hands until the middle of Ocobter, 1918. The name of the Highland Cemetery is from the comparatively high ground on which it stands. The Cemetery was greatly enlarged after the Armistice when graves of October and November 1918 were bought in from isolated positions on all sides of Le Cateau.

Note: Vis-En-Artois and Harcourt were taken by the Canadian Corps on 27th August, 1918. The cemetery was begun immediately afterwards and was used by fighting units and field ambulances until the middle of October. It was increased after the Armistice by the concentration of graves from the battlefields of April-June, 1917, August and September, 1918, and from the smaller cemeteries in the neighbourhood.

Note: The RANGOON MEMORIAL bears the names of almost 27,000 men of the Commonwealth land forces who died during the campaigns in Burma (now Myanmar) and who have no known grave. The memorial stands in TAUKKYAN WAR CEMETERY, which is the largest of the three war cemeteries in Burma. It was begun in 1951 for the reception of graves from four battlefield cemeteries at Akyab, Mandalay, Meiktila and Sahmaw which were difficult to access and could not be maintained. The last was an original 'Chindit' cemetery containing many of those who died in the battle for Myitkyina. The graves have been grouped together at Taukkyan to preserve the individuality of these battlefield cemeteries Burials were also transferred from civil and cantonment cemeteries, and from a number of isolated jungle and roadside sites. Because of prolonged post-war unrest, considerable delay occurred before the Army Graves Service were able to complete their work, and in the meantime many such graves had disappeared. However, when the task was resumed, several hundred more graves were retrieved from scattered positions throughout the country and brought together here.
