About
A war memorial in Pune Camp dedicated to soldiers of the Southern Command who died in India's post-independence conflicts, including the wars of 1947-48, 1965, 1971 and the Kargil conflict of 1999. Its centrepiece is an eternal flame and a wall inscribed with the names of the fallen. The memorial hosts a small museum of military artefacts and vintage armoured vehicles on its grounds. It remains an active site of remembrance, particularly around Republic Day and Kargil Vijay Diwas.
Did you know? The National War Memorial Southern Command honours soldiers of India's oldest and largest military command, tracing its lineage back to the British Indian Army — it remains an active memorial site for ongoing military commemorations today.
