Rows of graves in Kranji war cemetery, Singapore. There are 4,461 Commonwealth casualties of World War 2 commemorated at Kranji, including more than 850 unidentified graves.

The names of a further 24,346 Allied soldiers, sailors, and airmen for whom no remains could be found (and thus no grave established) are recorded on the wall of the central memorial.
