CIMETIÈRE DE GUERRE DE KANDY Sri Lanka
À partir du Jardin botanique à Peridenya, prenez la route de Kandy. Juste après le Jardin, tournez à gauche à l'endroit où se trouve le panneau situé à droite, sur la promenade Lady Magdalene. Le cimetière de guerre de Kandy est à quelque 1,5 kilomètre plus bas sur cette rue.
Pour plus d’informations, visitez la Commission des sépultures de guerre du Commonwealth (site disponible en anglais seulement).
