Thanbyuzayat

During WWII, Thanbyuzayat was just a large village within Kyaikkami township, and later gained town status.From Thanbyuzayat, the prisoners were moved to work camps on the railway line.The camp was abandoned on 22 June 1943 due to continuous allied bombardment[6] which killed 12 prisoners.[8] In the Thanbyuzayat War Cemetery, 3,626 Allied servicemen (mostly Australian, British and Dutch)[9] are buried.[10] All prisoners who died on the Burma side have been re-buried at Thanbyuzayat except for the Americans who have been repatriated.
