History
The Ranchi War Cemetery was established by the Imperial War Graves Commission (now Commonwealth War Graves Commission) to commemorate the soldiers who died in military hospitals in and around Ranchi during World War II. Ranchi served as a significant medical base during the war due to its relatively cool climate and strategic location. The cemetery contains the graves of soldiers from various Commonwealth countries, including the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and India. The cemetery was carefully designed to provide a dignified and respectful final resting place for these soldiers, ensuring their sacrifice would not be forgotten. Over the years, the cemetery has been meticulously maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, preserving its historical significance and honoring the memory of those who rest there.
