What sort of information are you looking for?

It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,

My understanding is that bodies were re buried after the war in the cemetery.  As a POW they were buried where they died.
As Max said if we know more about who and what you are looking for we may be able to help.

More on soldiers who had a similar fate.

You need to click on cemeteries, then Kanchanaburi to find information on those buried there.  If you click on the names it shows that their bodies were recovered and where they died and were originally buried.
