Kranji War Memorial Park, Singapore
The Kranji War Memorial is laid out in a geometric pattern of stones spread out on a gently sloping green hill which offers a commanding view across the Straits of Johore to the north and over the hills of Singapore to the south. The Kranji War Cemetery was designed by Colin St. Clair Oakes. The design represents the army, the navy and the air-force services. The vertical element is the conning tower with a star at the top, while the spreading elements are the wings and the walls, symbolic of military formations. The names for the dead are engraved in the walls. The total number of burials in the cemetery is 4,465.
