Petagas War Memorial
The Petagas War Memorial is a testament to those who lost their lives defending Sabah against the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II, particularly those of the ill fated Kinabalu Guerrillas. This article attempts to trace the story behind the creation of the Memorial, the people associated with it and the relevance to the post war history of Sabah.
