Built in Kampung Sungai Kelamah, this concrete structure in white marble was erected as a sign of respect in memory of the soldiers involved in a battle between the Japanese and Australian army. Standing eight feet in height, there is an inscription on the memorial describing the chronology of events. On 14th January 1941, an Australian army led by L.Colonel Gallaghan ambushed the Japanese before they managed to make their way to Tampin through the only access -- the wooden bridge of Kelamah River.

The battle lasted two days. In their effort to stop the Japanese advancement, the weary Australians blew up the bridge before retreating to Segamat for safety. The remains of this bridge can still be seen today. To have a clearer view of the area, you may climb down several steps to a viewing platform built at the bank of the river, especially for this purpose.

Till today, this memorial is visited by the descendants of both the Australian and Japanese soldiers, in memory of their heroes. For the visitor, take a breather of fresh air by driving down this road amidst the morning haze or at the turn of the full moon. Appreciate the serene and tranquil atmosphere of the area and take a moment to reminisce the sacrifices of these brave men.
