	Kranji, the war cemetery and memorial in Singapore
		Kranji War Cemetery is 22 kilometres north of the city of Singapore, on the north side of Singapore Island overlooking the Straits of Johore.
		After the fall of the island, the Japanese established a prisoner of war camp at Kranji and eventually a hospital was organised nearby at Woodlands.
		Before the war, an emergency water tank had been dug in the grounds of the hospital and this was used as a grave for more than 400 civilians and Commonwealth servicemen.

		Kranji is named after a local tree, the kranji or keranji (Dialium indicum), which was common in the first half of the nineteenth century but has since rapidly dwindled.
		Kranji served as a military camp before the 1939 Japanese invasion, and now is the home of the Kranji War Cemetery and Kranji War Memorial, for the 30,000 British war dead from Singapore, Malaya, Java and Sumatra.
		There is also a reservoir in Kranji, known as Kranji Reservoir, formed by the damming of the Kranji River.
