Kranji Commonwealth War Cemetery, War Memorial and State Cemetery Visit

Kranji War Memorial

The Kranji War Memorial looks very imposing indeed and has a very sterile and clean look since it is made up of mostly bare concrete that blends well with the cemetery headstones.




The plaque gives a short tribute to the fallen whose names are inscribed on the walls of the memorial.



 
Like most of the inscriptions found in and around the cemetery and memorial, the inscriptions on the walls of the memorial are carved out in the bare concrete.




A typical part of the wall is just filled with names and are grouped according to the units they belonged to. This one shows Commonwealth units of Indian origin.




Here is a shot of the memorial with a Cross of Sacrifice at the left foreground.




And here is another shot of the memorial further back and from a more sideways angles




Finally, a close up shot of the ball and star found on top of the Kranji War Memorial. No idea how it is maintained so well up there.
