we did not stop long at this destination. it was quick pass by. very clean and well kept. just to show respect
imrealy like to admire everytime past by Taiping War Memorial ground for the upkeeping of the beauty and cleen environment by the british goverment staf who are taking care of this place . we can see the unity of the diferent nation and ethnic who were martyred in the world war one and two for the british who ruled malaya at that time/Leaving behind memories of British administration in Taiping with all the fist in Malaya like Railway,admin buildings and many historical places..it is situated on the way to bukit larut and next to Coronation swimming pool.about 1km from zoo taiong. at the foot of bukit larut and taman sentosa and Burmese pool.
We came here after during the evening. There are 2 side of the war cemetary. One side was for the Muslims and Ghurka soldiers graves and the opposite sides was for the Christians graves.
We walked in and we can feel the peace. I really can not imagine the family behind those soldiers whom were sacrificed in this cruel war. Their family members were waiting for their sons to return home. It must be heartbreaking to know that their beloved was buried at the foreign land. I did notice from the date stated on the tombstones, most of them were young, really young at their early 20s. Really feel grateful for their services for our country!
We have finally made it after having visited Malaysia pretty regularly for the last 15 years. We arrived in the hot midday sun & was completely taken back by the serenity & the well kept site. There was actually a gardener weeding & he said he comes daily!! So humbling & grateful for his hard work. It was also so sad to see these very young but brave men scacrificed their lives for our freedom & democracy today!! Long should they be remembered.
The Taiping War Cemetery is the final resting place for Allied soldiers killed during World War II in Malaya. It is separated into two compounds: one side for Christian graves, the other for non-Christian graves. It is not a huge area, and for the casual visitor it may not have much to offer in terms of things to do, but it is a great reminder of those who lost their lives in combat during the war. The surrounding is indeed very peaceful, and also very well-maintained, and is conveniently located on the way from the Lake Gardens to Bukit Larut (Maxwell Hill). It would've been more interesting to have some interpretation signs around to learn and understand the history and significance of the place, but it's still a good place to stop for a while on your way to Maxwell Hill.
