Perak War Memorial Cenotaph at Ipoh Railway Station - Part 2

This cenopath at the Perak War Memorial in front of Ipoh Railway Station, was unveiled in 1927 on Armistice Day. When you click on the picture for the enlarged view, you will see the names of all the war heroes. The words inscribed inside the brass plate read as follows:

Top:   SACRED TO THE MEMORY OF THE MEN FROM THE STATE OF PERAK

WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918

Centre: The individual names of all the soldiers who perished

Bottom:  THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE

Below there is another white plaque that reads as follows:

AND TO THOSE WHO DIED IN THE 1939-1945

Yesterday,  more than 250 war veterens, their relatives and guests from far and near attended the Remembrance Day ceremoy here to pay tribute to those who died during the wars and the Emergency. The news was published in The Sunday Star 13 June 2010 titled, "A Day To Honour Battlefield Sacrifices." Please click on the link to read more.

The scenic view at the pathway that leads to the War Memorial. The blue building in the background is the Head Quarters of the Perak Police Contingent or Ibu Pejabat Polis Kontigen Perak. Notice the rows of manicured bougainvillea bushes. Ipoh is also know as "Bougainvillea City".
