Check with Commonwealth War Graves Commission, the website could have more info, or the Australian Embassy in Singapore. But it is a national park and is free to enter so i doubt they would close and turn away visitors

Plenty of time to organised yourselves in the UK before your departure. In Australia the RSL (Returned Services League) sells official RSL approved wreathes out of heavy durable paper & cloth with a purple ribbon which says LEST WE FORGET. Your UK equivalent of the RSL would sell something similar. We (RSL Sub-Branches) recycle these wreathes on Anzac Day and 11 November; they are very durable and cost about $20. Being made of heavy paper and cloth, you'll have no problem with Quarantine; just bring it along with you on the ship. No wasted time in Singapore looking for something suitable! Have a nice trip! You'll love Singapore!

Unfortunately we didn't see any florists near Kranji. The Singapore florists do some brilliant arrangements so we suggest ordering the flowers once you arrive in Singapore and take them with you to the memorial. There were floral tributes there including several wreaths so you shouldn't have any trouble getting a Cross made. Maybe ask the Concierge at your hotel? They are usually very helpful.

At Commonwealth War Graves there are books available showing name and location. You may find the same information on line, try through CWG site. Good luck, if going to Singapore be sure to go to the Singapore National Museum.

We caught a train from the city, the railways are very efficient and by following the lines' (ask at the information desk if you have any questions and they will inform you of what trains to get) you can buy your return ticket in the one transaction. If you keep your ticket you can add to it later and get a discount on a later trip if you use it a number of times. Once you reach Kranji you can walk to the memorial in about 15 minutes and spend as long as you wish there then walk back. That is what we did and it was a pleasant walk. The locals are only too happy to send you on the way you need to go. They speak English so there are no language difficulties.

It's free to go! Daily 8am-6.30pm Bring an umbrella for shade or rain

Hi Sue, Thanks for your question, Regarding the stone, according to the Bills of Quantities files, the Kranji Memorial is built from concrete and Portland cement. It is adorned with Portland stone name tablets. With regards to the star and sphere, unfortunately, I am afraid we could not find an explanation for the symbolism or significance behind these. I'm sorry that we could not help with that element, often there will be no records that attest to the artistic impulses behind specific features. Good luck with your course Thank you CWGC PS. Thanks for all the other responses, we really appreciate the level of interaction, interest and positive comments on our Trip Advisor pages, thanks for your support as always.

The journey by mrt will take you about 45minutes from town and cost you about sgd2.5 on the red line. You can combine visit of the memorial with a visit to the zoo amd night safari. You have direct bus from woodlands MRT (2 stations away from Kranji). Kranji is also a transit point if you are going to JB in malaysia.
