A delegation from Meghalaya identifies three World War I graves of Garo servicemen in Malta, expanding knowledge beyond a previously known single grave. The new findings include the grave of Khew Marak, who died on June 15, 1918, and two other Garo men buried in the same cemetery.
Until now, Khew Marak’s grave was understood to be the only known grave of a Garo member associated with the 69th Garo Labour Company. The discovery is based on what the delegation identifies at the cemetery in Malta, and it highlights how archival and on-site evidence can update historical records of overseas Indian communities connected to the war.
Across the sources provided, the core point is consistent: three graves linked to Garo men from the World War I period are identified in Malta. Differences are limited to how the reports are framed and the level of detail included beyond the shared confirmation of three graves and the specific reference to Khew Marak’s death date.
