Carol I have found a web page with some information pertinent to your question: Extract: "Graves were also transferred from civil and cantonment cemeteries, and a number of jungle and roadside graves were brought in". http://www.woolletthistory.co.uk/cwgc/arthur_2.htm hope this helps. I did find Walter listed on the Commonwealth Wargraves Commission.

Hello Janice. Thanks for the information on the Taukkyan cemetery. I guess from reading that, he could have been killed anywhere in Asia although it does sound like most of the soldiers were killed in Burma. I have seen the CWGC site.
