HISTORY INFORMATION
Delhi War Cemetery was created in 1951 when graves from many cemeteries in northern India were moved into the site to ensure their permanent maintenance. Among them are graves from cantonment cemeteries in Allahabad, Cawnpore, Dehra Dun and Lucknow. There are now 1,022 Commonwealth casualties of the Second World War buried, or commemorated by special memorial, in this cemetery together with a number of war graves of other nationalities, mostly Dutch.
In 1966, 99 First World War burials were moved into the cemetery from Nicholson Cemetery, Kashmir Gate, Delhi, so that their permanent maintenance could be assured.
Delhi War Cemetery also contains the DELHI 1914-18 MEMORIAL, which was built to commemorate 153 casualties buried in Meerut Cantonment Cemetery whose graves could no longer be maintained. However, in recent years, the Commission has re-instated these graves.
More than 25,000 servicemen of the forces of undivided India died during the Second World War in non-operational zones, for example while serving with regimental depots or with other static units. Their remains were accorded the last rites and disposal required by their various religions and their names are commemorated at memorials in the capital cities of India and Pakistan. The DELHI 1939-45 WAR MEMORIAL forms the entrance to Delhi War Cemetery and an identical memorial stands in Karachi War Cemetery. No names appear on the memorials but a Roll of Honour at each site, one in Hindi, the other in Urdu, record the names of those commemorated.

A Respectfull place to pay homage to our Great person here. This place is quiet here. This place tells the history of many Braves. But nowadays many youths are visiting this place to do Photography and performing stunts to capture some good videos and snaps to upload in Facebook and Youtube. This is unseen by Delhi police totally as nobody roam here as this is a Defence land.

Hidden place in DELHI to visit

My sister Barbara and I visited from Australia our father's grave NORMAN JOSEPH FREDERICK WESTHOFF in November 2016 and were so impressed and warmly greeted by the gentleman in charge whose card I cannot find. The cemetery was so beautifully kept and so peaceful. Once again as seems to be the case we had great difficulty in our driver's ability to find it and were not able to take advantage of having a cup of tea with the most charming Indian gentleman because our time was limited. We never knew our father as we were too young but felt closer to him than we had ever felt in this place of contentment. Thank you to all the people whom maintain this memorial on behalf of all the loved ones these men left behind.

This is a perfect example of how the CWGC can manage its cemeteries to an unbeatable standard. A more respectful and well manicured Cemetery you will not find in Delhi. Thank you to the CWGC and the local team for looking after this site so well.
