Madras War Cemetery is located in Nandambakkam, Chennai (formerly Madras), Tamil Nadu, India. It was created to receive Second World War graves from civil and cantonment cemeteries in the south and east of India. Brief History The cemetery occupies 2.75 acres (1.11 hectares) and contains the graves of 856 Commonwealth service people who died in the Second World War. It was established in 1952 by the Imperial War Graves Commission, which is now known as the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC), to pay tribute to the people of the Commonwealth nations who died in military service. The cemetery is maintained by the CWGC in partnership with Government of India. The cemetery is given to the CWGC under perpetual lease by the Defence Ministry. The cemetery also includes Madras 1914-1918 War Memorial, which is situated at the rear of the site and is styled on the lines of a lawn cemetery. The memorial, which does not contain any bodies, bears plaques with the names of British and Commonwealth soldiers who died in both World Wars and the inscription; "Their name liveth for evermore". It bears the names of more than 1,039 servicemen who died during the First World War and whose remains lie in many civil and cantonment cemeteries across India, where it is not possible to maintain their graves in perpetuity.

It's almost so serene and peaceful it's literally on the sides of the road and yet once you enter it becomes so quite and just so soothing! It's a beautiful place and really well maintained. You can go there Nd sit for a long time and not notice the traffic noises! Definitely quite a wonderful place and must visit on any low days you have. Just get in there sit and it will soothe you!

Beautiful and serene place located along the Urban noisy road and dusty air. Entry is free! But when you are in the place you don't feel that it is located in a busy area, the environment is very clean and very well maintained. It is a graveyard of first and second world war civilians. The person who maintains the place is very friendly!!
