General World War Two Links



Cemeteries and Memorial Links

This is a very professional site dedicated to soldiers that died over in Yokohama Japan in the concentration camps and for soldiers from elsewhere like India. It has a very good site map and a very clear, detailed index of the soldiers with military number and next of kin where available. Well worth a look........

This is a personal family history site that lists detailed descriptions of Australian casualties from WW2 buried there. 522 Japanese are buried there too.


Covers Belgium, Canada, China (including Hong Kong), Egypt, France, Germany, Greece, Holland, Italy, Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand.
