Kranji War Memorial

From one of my earlier visits to the Kranji War Memorial. There are over 4000 graves, with close to a thousand unmarked ones. Some of the marked ones showed names of soldiers as young as 17. Additionally, names of 24,000 WWII servicemen are inscribed on twelve columns.

I've been to a few WWII graveyards, and they are all so haunting.

A fine picture Ayush. It is so sad to see the names and ages on the graves. We owe them so much.

Separate stones, even for unknown soldiers. Quite a place.
