The Cenotaph was built in memory of 124 British soldiers born or resident in Singapore who gave their lives in World War I, with a second dedication (but no names) added for World War II.  The foundation stone was laid by Sir Lawrence Nunns Guillemard, Governor of the Straits Settlements, on 15 November 1920 in the company of  visiting French Premier, Georges Clemenceau.  The memorial was completed in 1922, and was unveiled on 31 March that year by Prince Edward of Wales, later King Edward VIII then Duke of Windsor.  It remains, and is here also on this unused mid-century postcard.  Grade: 1
