Former Indian National Army Monument

The Former Indian National Army Monument was a war memorial at Esplanade Park, Singapore, erected by the Japanese in August 1945 during the Japanese Occupation to honour the INA's 'Unknown Warrior', with its foundation stone laid by Subhas Chandra Bose on 8 July 1945 and the INA motto — Unity, Faith, and Sacrifice — inscribed on it. After the Allies recaptured Singapore in 1945, Lord Mountbatten ordered the memorial demolished. In 1995 the National Heritage Board marked the location as a historical site, and a commemorative plaque partly funded by donations from Singapore's Indian community now marks the spot at Connaught Drive.
