The common wealth war Memorial heroes cemetery is located in a picturesque spot surrounded by Cedar trees. There are some old war memorials. Many are in a state of decline for the marble stone tops have been taken away by the people. A beautiful path takes you down in the midst of the jungle where these soldiers rest.Though the war graves are really not well maintained for I cannot help but comparing them to the war memorials that I saw in France nd UK but the location is beautiful and nestled amidst the jungle of cedar trees.The Bible describes the cedar tree as strong and durable (Isaiah 9:10), graceful and beautiful (Psalm 80:10, Ezekiel 17:23), high and tall (Amos 2:9, Ezekiel 17:22), fragrant (Song of Songs 4:11) and spreading wide (Psalm 80:10-11) .Like its evergreen counterparts, the Eastern red cedar is known as the “graveyard tree” in this region because it can successfully grow for many years. The tree's perpetually green needles also are said to symbolize “eternal life”.
