Wall of Remembrance

The Memorial Wall of the UNMCK, on which all the names of the fallen during the Korean War under the banner of the United Nations Forces are inscribed, was completed on October 24, 2006. It had been funded by the Korean Government in order to dedicate the noble sacrifice made by those who gave their invaluable lives in defense of the Republic of Korea against the Communist aggression. The round pond symbolizes the Universe where the sky and the Wall together with spirit of the fallen and the mind of the spectators are present. The helmet in the pond signifies war while the lotus flower on the opposite side of the pond signifies sublimation from war to peace. On the black stones of the Wall all the names of the fallen,  from 17 countries in all, are engraved in alphabetical order by country and individual name.
