The city of Ambon was heavily damaged during World War II, first by the Japanese, who heavily bombed the city in January 1942, and later by the Allied forces, who attacked it in 1943 and 1944. The military cemetery was built on the site of a former camp for Australian, British and Dutch prisoners of war. Many of the soldiers buried here died in captivity. Australian soldiers who died during the Japanese invasion of Ambon and Timor were also buried here.
