Los Soldados otomanos que están enterrados en este cementerio, murieron después de que se convirtieron en prisioneros de guerra en el teatro de operaciones del Medio Oriente durante la Primera Guerra Mundial y fueron enviados por las Fuerzas Armadas británicas hasta un campo de trabajos forzados en este país. Alrededor de doce mil soldados del ejército otomano cayeron en manos de las fuerzas británicas durante la campaña del Sinaí, Palestina y Mesopotamia en la Primera Guerra Mundial. Los prisioneros de guerra otomanos fueron trasladados a Birmania, que estaba entonces bajo el dominio británico en condición de colonia. (es)
- The Meiktila War Cemetery is a war cemetery which serves as the resting places for captured Ottoman soldiers who died in Myanmar. It is located in the city of Meiktila, situated in the Meiktila District of the Mandalay Division. The cemetery also serves as a memorial for the deceased soldiers. During the First World War, approximately 12,000 Ottoman soldiers were captured by the British during the Mesopotamian and Sinai and Palestine campaigns as part of the Middle Eastern theatre of World War I. These prisoners of war were mostly transferred to prisoner-of-war camps in Myanmar, which was under British colonial rule at the time. Up to 1,000 Ottoman prisoners of war died while in captivity, primarily due to outbreaks of disease. During the war, the prisoner-of-war camp in Meiktila housed thousands of Ottoman prisoners of war. According to a Red Cross report published in 1917, the prisoners reported that they were treated well int the camps but complained about being separated from their families, loss of their liberty and livelihoods and boredom. The Red Cross characterized the prisoners acceptance of their fate as "Oriental fatalism". After the end of the First World War, most of the prisoners-of-war were sent back home. The cemetery in Meiktila where the soldiers were buried soon fell into disrepair, though in 2012 the Turkish government paid for it to be restored in order to serve as a memorial (after Turkish-Myanmar relations began to improve under the presidency of Thein Sein. In 2013, Islamophobic rumors spread in the Mandalay region that after the cemetery was restored, a mosque would constructed nearby, which were denied by a local Muslim community leader. According to Frontier Myanmar journalist James T. Davies, ... the rumours about the cemetery [in Meiktila] were due to a misunderstanding. This had exacerbated tension in the town between Buddhists and Muslims, which was already strained by the violence in Rakhine State. (en)
