Kranji Military Cemetery

Following the withdrawal of British forces from Singapore in 1971, The Singapore Government moved military and military family burials from Pasir Panjang and Ulu Pandan Military Cemeteries to Kranji. This delicate work was carried out from 1975-1976. In later years burials from other cemeteries in Singapore were also moved to Kranji. These included Colonial Police burials. There are in excess of 4,200 burials in the Military Cemetery.
