Singapore - I decided to walk along the Esplanade and came across a Cenotaph. (Cenotaph definition: a public monument built in memory of particular people who died in war, often with their names written on it.)
There was silent as a group of British men and women bow their heads heads in prayer.
On the Cenotaph is the phrase ‘Our Glorious Dead’, which immediately calls to mind the sacrifice of the brave men. At the top of the memorial is a sarcophagus, featuring a bronze medallion of a crown – a symbol of the Crown Colony – surrounded by a laurel wreath which represents victory and peace.
The names of the 124 victims were inscribed on bronze plates mounted on the memorial.
