A moving tribute to the men and women who gave their lives in defense of Singapore and Malaysia during WWII, the Kranji War Memorial is a sprawling complex of monuments and cemetery plots. The graves of 4000 military personnel are marked with simple white stones, while the names of 24,000 additional personnel whose remains were lost are inscribed on 12 columns. Several other memorials commemorate soldiers and civilians who died during the Japanese occupation. The vast quantity of names and markers is astonishing.
