== History ==
11 soldiers from the North Western Province were killed in the First World War (1914–1918), including three Sri Lankans. Therefore, tower was erected to honor them, and memorial plaque on the tower has the following inscribed: "''This Clock Tower was erected in memory of those who went from the North Western province at the call of duty and gave their lives for the empire in the World War in 1914–1918''"
However, soon after 1945, the tower was also dedicated to the valiant officers who sacrificed their lives in the Second World War (1939–1945).〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Sri Lanka war monuments )〕
