Isn’t it a solemn sight, this monument standing tall against the backdrop of Kandy’s vibrant life? This, my friends, is the World War I Memorial War memorial, a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the Great War. Though Sri Lanka, then Ceylon, was far from the battlefields of Europe, her sons answered the call to duty. The World War I Memorial War memorial, with its inscription “Their name liveth for evermore”, stands as a testament to their bravery. Imagine the families, the mothers and fathers, the wives and children, who received the news of their loved ones lost in a distant land. This memorial, built from sturdy stone, serves as a symbol of remembrance for those who never returned. It reminds us of the enduring impact of war, even on a nation that never saw battle on its shores. Let us take a moment of silence to honor their memory.
