The Cenotaph, Singapore, War memorial in Esplanade Park, Singapore
The Cenotaph rises 18 meters high, constructed from local granite with bronze tablets displaying names of World War I casualties on its surface.
The Prince of Wales unveiled this memorial on March 31, 1922, initially commemorating 124 Singapore soldiers who perished during World War I.
Annual Remembrance Day ceremonies at the monument include religious services and military processions to honor fallen soldiers from both world wars.
Visitors can reach the memorial through several nearby Mass Rapid Transit stations and bus stops along Connaught Drive in the Civic District.
Five original steps of the monument correspond to specific years of World War I, from 1914 to 1918, with additional steps added for World War II.
