Post War, the Commonwealth War Graves Commission team located a cemetery in
the vicinity of the 50 kilo area of the Railway (on the Burma side) which contained the remains of 10 non-POW Allied service men.

The following story is a little known part of the Burma Thailand Railway history.

On
the 3rd January 1945 four Allied B24 bombers flew from over the Andaman
Sea to bomb Ronsi (59 Kilo) and Apalon (85 Kilo). While flying low over Anarkwin (50
Kilo) they were shot at by AA guns of the Indian National Army. Two planes were hit. One crashed on the side of the Railway track 100 metres from a Japanese army post building. The plane was burnt out. Capt Sakai collected the remains of the ten crew and had them buried in a 500 bomb crater left from a previous raid.
The next day 12 Allied aircraft returned and plastered the area with over 50 bombs.
killing every Japanese except Capt Sakai. They also knocked out the Bofor guns killing two Indian Gunners of the A.A. Unit.

Both Anarkwin (1) and Apalon (2) were the sites of substantial bridges which were the targets of Allied bombers. One cemetery at Apalon was not found as the whole area had been so heavily bombed.

It is interesting that the Commonwealth War Graves Commission search team operating in the area between 25 Sept and 10th Oct 1945 included WO2 Les Cody (AIF) and Lieut. Nagase Takashi (both of whom figure prominently in the post war history of the Burma Thailand Railway).
