The U.N. Cemetery is where the remains of war patriots from 16 nations and medical support groups from 6 nations are buried
in commemoration for their service shown in the Korean War. U.N. Forces Headquarters exhumed the remains of the dead scattered
across Gaeseong, Incheon, Daejon, and Masan, then buried them here on January 18, 1951.
It is the only cemetery designated as a 'U.N. Memorial Cemetery' by the U.N. General Assembly in 1955. The remians of 11,000 from the United States, Belgium, France, Columbia, Ethiopia, Greece, India, Philippines, Thailand, and other countries were buried at first. As most were repatriated, 2,300 remains from 11 countries are currently enshrined to include remains from Australia, Canada, France, Netherlands, New Zealand, Turkey, and England.
This place was originally named the U.N. Memorial Cemetery, but is now known as the U.N. Memorial Park. The change was made on March 30, 2001, after deliberation by the Control Committee.
