Commonwealth War Cemetery of Comilla
Commonwealth War Cemetery of Comilla is a historical
place situated inside Bangladesh in midst of innumerable plants and
trees with unprecedented natural beauties. It is a clear memoir of
soldiers who had laid down their lives for the sake of birth right to
defend equality, justice and peace of mother land as a tentative flow.
As a Counter Part officer of FEEM (Finance for Economics and Economic
Management) Course for Mid-level officers of Bangladesh Civil Service
steered by Financial Management Reform programme in collaboration with
Financial Management Academy, I had a chance to visit Commonwealth War
Cemetery of Comilla in 2006 in connection with a study tour. In my
opinion, this cemetery inspires people to consecrate for the sake of
truth, prosperity and overall self-governing hopes and aspiration. The
soldiers lacerating their lives have publicized the symbol of
discipline, respects and dutifulness for mother land. Freedom is such a
word with which a man can cherish to improve his lot in respect of
cultivating mechanism of democratic institution as a faltering flow. If
we look around the tomb, we will find the names of the world heroes of
different castes and creed through out the world.
As a mimed bystander of world history, Commonwealth war cemetery is
situated with its past glory at Mynamati of Comilla enthralling the
ecstasy of loneliness under ever green natural beauties demarcated by
numerous plants, trees, grasslands and herbs. Like other artifacts of
Budhabihar and Ranikuthi, such world famous and historic cemetery not
getting any younger of Second World War has enriched Comilla in view of
its glittered brilliance surrounded with uncommon natural beauties
encountered by herbs, creepers, bushes of plants and trees. About
uncountable attractions of the people, this memorial park has been
engraved with respects and dignity. Even if, this world cemetery has
added a new dimension of this glorified district towards heritage,
culture and ritual of Bangladesh. Not only in Bangladesh, this
historical cemetery has won the outstanding vision of the people all the
way through out the whole world which whip the heart of the people in
the sense that the heroes who had laid down their lives for the cause of
egalitarianism and emancipation of the country are really the great men
who have not well thought-out their self greediness rather they have
dyed-in-the-wool their lives to run off with freedom from the despotic
rulers.
Due to the gallant touch-wood of mammoth memories of World War II (
1939-!945), the name of this historical cemetery has been spread far and
near in due sense of honour and high esteem for such freedom fighter
as they had dedicated their lives for the just cause of heroic deeds.
They did not lag behind from the warfare thinking about their
children, fathers and wives and their close kith and kin. They have
never looked behind and never been deviated from their sacred duties to
safeguard their mother land bedded on good faith, unity and trust with
the creator. They have never made any breech of trust with the
widespread people and their blood mixed with their reliance and
philosophy of life. This memorial tomb is in times gone by momentous
because the soldiers from different walks of life coupled together and
fought in the battle turf. They died for the sake of freedom and success
to establish democratic rights of the people. They are the symbols of
national hero and the people from different countries of the world
memorialize their painstaking life of war with acclamation bedded on
praise and somber mood.
According to the accounts stick on the wall of the world cemetery,
736 soldiers have been buried here symbolizing their contribution in
World War II for their courage, heroism and hardihood. The soldiers were
from Russia, Japan, Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, Burma and many other
parts of the world. The carved names upon these necropolises are
undoubtedly declaring their loyalties to establish equality and liberty
of the people. We behold the tomb glittered with golden rays of the sun
with cosmopolitan outlook and find unrestrained spiritual and eternal
peace of life.
