Last semester break, my sister n me decided to 'run away' fr the our world for a while to Labuan Island..We visited several places n found out that place was so interesting..
The first place that we went was:
Labuan War Cemetery
The Labuan War Cemetery is a memorial for the fallen Australian, British, New Zealand, Punjab and local soldiers during the war. Many prisoners-of-war were forced by the Japanese to march to Ranau after being captured in Sandakan, in what is now known as the Ranau Death March. Hundreds died along the way and most were buried in Labuan. The memorial center serves as a place to remember their valiant sacrifices and as an effort to mark it, a Remembrance Day is held on the first Sunday of November each year.
