Quailey's Hill Memorial, World War II memorial in Ranau, Malaysia

The memorial features a granite slab with inscriptions detailing the death of Australian soldier Allan Quailey during the Sandakan Death Marches in 1945.

Private Allan Quailey, captured during the fall of Singapore in 1942, was executed by Japanese guards on February 16, 1945 while refusing to continue the march.

The memorial serves as a crucial station along the POW Route, connecting Sandakan to Ranau, with informational signs marking the historical path of the march.

Located seven kilometers east of Sabah within the Sabah Tea plantation, the memorial occupies 100 square meters of fenced grounds surrounded by trees.

The site remained unmarked until 2005 when Australian historian Lynette Silver and local expert Tham Yau Kong identified the exact location of Quailey's death.
