Tawang War Memorial was erected in 1999 in memory of the 2420 soldiers who were martyred in the Kameng sector in the Indo - Chinese war of 1962. The memorial has been built in accordance with local Buddhist religious practices, with a stupa like structure right in the centre . Its walls bear inscriptions of the names of all the martyred soldiers in the Kameng sector with a separate small memorial dedicated to Subedar Joginder Singh of 1 Sikh, who was posthumously awarded the Param Vir Chakra.
