A monument of international importance located in the khadki cantonment area of Pune is the War cemetery. The tombstones of more than 1600 soldiers from world war II are located here. About 660 tombstones belonging to martyrs of World War I we're shifted here from the Sewri war cemetery of Bombay due to lack of maintenance there. The memorials belong to soldiers from various religions, countries. An extremely well maintained place, with the names of each of the soldiers inscribed. It is open from 8 am to 7 pm.

A well maintained, beautifully landscaped, war cemetery. It is just next to the Mula River. In order to enter, you just need to ask permission from the manger who can be found in the building just opposite to the cemetery. As you enter, make an entry in the visitors register. This cemetery, revives the respect for the fallen men & women, and our uniformed men & women in the borders, protecting us selflessly. The atmosphere is filled with patriotism which is almost palpable. A must visit place, & if you have enough time, make sure you read the writings in each gravestone. There are men as young as 19 years old. The heartbreaking lines will either leave you with pride filled heart or tear filled eyes. Most Cantonments have a war cemetery which have been maintained really well. The visitors mostly include family, friends & relatives of the fallen. Foreign men & women fighting for their country, who died for their country, & were buried in a foreign land with a folded flag received by their family. If this doesn't motivate you to visit & pay your respects, I don't know what will.

The war cemetery were soldiers from WW1 and WW2 have been buried. Some of them had their graves in other parts of the country, but because there was no assurance of a permanent cemetery, they were brought here and re-buried.

I feel lucky to be in a place where I can bow down in peace and pay respect to the martyrs of WW2. I never got an opportunity to get inside but yeah it was really amazing experience just being at the place. Would love to go inside and visit each tombstone. Great work and efforts on the people who are handling and maintaining such a beautiful place.

A very beautifully maintained place. Every inch of cemetery is nurtured from WW2, this place contains record and names of all those who soldiers of royal Navy and British army, who died in the Indian region in both World Wars. Moreover, this little garden is a symbol of protection of India in World Wars.
