Labuan : Part 4 - Memorial Park

In a day, we have covered the Farmers' Market in the morning, The Chimney, Peace Park, Surrender Point in the afternoon, and now we visit the War Memorial Park in the evening.

A brief history of Labuan War Memorial from Wikipedia:

Labuan War Cemetery is a Commonwealth World War II graveyard in Labuan, Malaysia. Many of the personnel buried in this cemetery, including Indian and Australian troops, were killed during the Japanese invasion of Borneo or the Borneo campaign of 1945. Others were prisoners of war in the region, including a number of those who perished on the infamous Sandakan Death Marches. This graveyard was erected by Commonwealth War Graves Commission.

Truly, a beautiful memorial park. The names of the soldiers were engraved on each stone. And those whose name was not known was written as 'Child of God' or other similar monikers. The taxi driver who drove us there told us that he drove a visitor once to this memorial to visit his late father. His mother was pregnant with child (i.e. the visitor) when the father died during the war.
