Quailey's Hill Memorial

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

Quailey's Hill Memorial is a monument in Ranau featuring a granite slab with inscriptions about Australian soldier Allan Quailey's death during the Sandakan Death Marches in 1945. The site sits on fenced grounds within a tea plantation area, surrounded by trees.

Private Allan Quailey was captured during the fall of Singapore in 1942 and died on February 16, 1945 when he refused to continue marching. He was one of thousands of prisoners who lost their lives during these brutal forced marches.

The memorial is one station on the P.O.W. Route, a marked trail that begins in Sandakan and ends at the Last Camp near Ranau. Each stop along the route is identified by a sign, allowing visitors to follow the path the prisoners were forced to march.

The memorial stands on a hill inside the Sabah Tea plantation, roughly seven kilometres east of Ranau. The grounds and monument are open to the public, and the granite stone sits in a tree-lined plot of about 100 m² enclosed by a white fence. The site is one of the marked stations on the P.O.W. Route that runs from Sandakan to the last camp near Ranau.

The exact location remained unknown until 2005, when Australian historian Lynette Silver and local expert Tham Yau Kong identified it through careful research. This memorial now stands as evidence of their dedication to preserving the story of those who died.
