11. Woking Burial Ground In 1915 the British Government built a special burial ground in Woking to take the bodies of Muslim soldiers of the British Indian Army who died of their wounds in Britain. The buildings were designed in an Indian style. The Iman of the Woking Mosque (the first mosque to be built in the UK) was paid to bury them and give them a proper Muslim funeral. Two slabs were placed in the ground which may have been used for Muslim prayer.

12. Woking Burial Ground
The nearly twenty Muslim soldiers buried there mainly came from the mountain areas of the North West Frontier Province of India, in what is now Pakistan. The headstones were designed in Islamic style and more Muslim soldiers were buried there during the Second World War. In 1969 the 27 graves were vandalised and moved to the nearby Brookwood Military Cemetery where they remain.

13. Woking Burial Ground
After 1969 the buildings of the Woking Burial Ground remained standing. However they became damaged with bits of stonework falling off.

24. How Woking Borough Council wanted the Muslim Burial Ground restored
The 27 original graves could not be returned
The buildings and stonework must be in good condition
The place should make visitors respect the memory of the Muslim soldiers who were once buried there
It should inform visitors about who the soldiers were
The grass area inside the Burial Ground could be used in different ways.
