Flag of Our Fathers

The huge bronze figures of soldiers were designed by Felix de Weldon, who also did Washington’s Marine Corps War Memorial ( also known as Iwo Jima Monument ). 

It was to commemorate some 11,000 people died during the 12-years Malayan Emergency.

This original national monument is a cenotaph set up by the British to commemorate the wars and honour the fallen heroes from WW I, WW II and the Malayan Emergency.
