If you are visiting Maxwell Hill, you will definitely come across the Commonwealth War Cemetery lying on both sides of the road leading to the hill. Walk through the grounds and you will find that most of the gravestones are marked 1941, as they are the final resting places of a company of soldiers who fought the Japanese when they invaded Taiping.

This war cemetery has two entrances leading to different religious sections where the Christian graves are located on the south-eastern side of the road. The Muslim and Gurkha soldiers who fell in the battle are on the opposite side. Many of the graves at the cemetery are unidentifiable - more than 500 of them.
