The Death March Comes Alive at Kundasang War Memorial, Ranau, Sabah

"I'm dreaming of Australia, the land we left behind", engraved on a dark marble stone at the Kundasang War Memorial in Ranau, Sabah, was heart-rending. I could not imagine the pain, horror and despair that had stricken close to 1,800 Australian and 600 British soldiers who became Prisoners of War (P.O.W.) in Sandakan, Sabah, under the Japanese occupation during World War II, which lasted from 1939 to 1945. The Kundasang War Memorial was built in 1962 as a tribute to the brave soldiers who had perished in the P.O.W. camps in Sandakan, the death marches taken by the rest of the soldiers from Sandakan to Ranau, and Sabahans who had suffered or was killed while trying to help these soldiers.
