The Cenotaph, located in Wu Kau Tang Martyrs Memorial Garden at Bride’s Pool Road, is a memorial to honour the Hong Kong Independent Battalion of the Dongjiang Column, an anti-Japanese aggression guerrilla force, and the Wu Kau Tang villagers who sacrificed themselves to defend Hong Kong against the Japanese invaders during Japanese occupation of Hong Kong from 1941 to 1945.
It is a local customs for the Wu Kau Tang rural community to pay their respects to the martyrs on the 16th day of the 8th lunar month, the day on which the then village representative was tortured to death by the Japanese invaders in 1942.
