Kranji Commonwealth War Cemetery, War Memorial and State Cemetery Visit

Cross of Sacrifice & Surrounding Features

This was something new to me this feature below I found out through Wikipedia was called the Cross of Sacrifice and can be found in Commonwealth war cemeteries. For more details about it, click on the link provided. This one is located directly front and centre of the Kranji War Memorial.




More headstones can be found at the left and right back of the memorial




Further to the right of the memorial are the Gurkha Garden and British Garden which consists of ashes of the respective servicemen and civilians and members of their families formerly buried in Pasir Panjang and Ulu Pandan cemetries but are now reburied in these 2 gardens.






Even further to the right of these 2 gardens is the Kranji Military Cemetery consisting of Non-World War dead. Amongst the plots stands a stone monument that is similar in appearance to the Cross of Sacrifice.



 

I wonder who left those 2 little idols at the base
