After its foundation by Bose, the monument was erected in a month by the Japanese. Subhas Chandra Bose ("Netaji") laid the foundation stone on July 8, 1945, months before Singapore was recaptured by the British. It was built during the Japanese Occupation of Singapore as the Japanese and the INA had one enemy in common, i.e., the British.
The words inscribed on the war memorial were its motto, which is Unity (Ittefaq), Faith (Etmad) and Sacrifice (Kurbani). The monument was constructed to commemorate the "Unknown Warrior" of the Indian National Army (INA). The Former Indian National Army Monument (Chinese: 印度国民军纪念碑) is a historical site and a war memorial at the Esplanade Park located at Connaught Drive within the downtown of Singapore. The former Indian National Army Monument site at Esplanade Park in Singapore is now marked by a plaque erected by the National Heritage Board.
