The Tower of Patriotic Souls (loosely translated) is situated on a knoll in Kowloon, near Kowloon Hospital.
When the Japanese troops invaded and dominated Kowloon for a short time, they built a monument to pay tribute to the Japanese soldiers who had lost their lives in the war. Today it still stands, though long forgotten and tucked away in a corner of Kowloon Hospital, now a government hospital. It is apparently similar to another tower on Hong Kong island, and was built to commemorate the Japanese war dead.
I can provide a present-day photograph of the monument. Message me if you want photos.
Author’s note: I have provided a brief introduction to, and taken some present-day photos of, this WW2-era monument. However, I admit that I am not a historical expert, and any information or photos surrounding the monument would be appreciated.
Best regards,
Lolitta Ho
