Former Indian National Army Monument The Former Indian National Army Monument ( Chinese : 印度国民军纪念碑 ) is a historical site and a war memorial at the Esplanade Park located at Connaught Drive within the downtown of Singapore . History . The monument was constructed to commemorate the " Unknown Warrior " of the Indian National Army ( INA ) . The words inscribed on the war memorial were its motto , which is " Unity ( Ittefaq ) , Faith ( Etmad ) and Sacrifice ( Kurbani ) " . It was built during the Japanese Occupation of Singapore as the Japan ese and the INA had one enemy in common , i . e . , the British . Subhas Chandra Bose ( " Netaji " ) laid the foundation stone on July 8 , 1945 , months before Singapore was recaptured by the British . After its foundation by Bose , the monument was erected in a month by the Japanese . The structure of the monument was influenced by Bose , the co - founder of the INA and Head of State of the Provisional Government of Free India . This army ( the INA ) was backed by the Japanese forces for its goal of liberating India from its British colonial masters . Later in 1945 after the Japanese retreat from Singapore and the subsequent surrender of the remaining divisions of the Indian National Army to the advancing British , the British commander Lord Louis Mountbatten ordered the memorial to be destroyed . Mountbatten ' s intention was to remove all traces of rebellion against British imperial authority . By attempting to completely erase all records of the INA ' s existence , he sought to prevent the seeds of the idea of a revolutionary socialist liberation force from spreading into the vestiges of British colonies , amidst the spectre of Cold War politics already taking shape at the time , which had haunted the colonial powers before the war . In 1995 , the National Heritage Board marked the place as a historical site and subsequently with financial donations from the Indian community in Singapore , a new monument commemorating the previous one was erected on that spot .

Council of National Defense The Council of National Defense was a United States organization formed during World War I to coordinate resources and industry in support of the war effort , including the coordination of transportation , industrial and farm production , financial support for the war , and public morale . Organizational history . Establishment . The Army appropriation for 1916 provided for the creation and funding of the Council of National Defense . The appropriation was $ 200 , 000 . President Woodrow Wilson established it on August 24 , 1916 , because " The Country is best prepared for war when thoroughly prepared for peace . " Members of some portions , such as the Medical Officers ' Reserve Corps , which had existed previously as the Medical Reserve Corps , reverted to their former roles preparing for emergencies . Structure . The council consisted of the Secretary of War , the Secretary of the Navy , the Secretary of the Interior , the Secretary of Agriculture , the Secretary of Commerce , and the Secretary of Labor . The council was to investigate and advise the president and heads of executive departments , on the strategic placement of industrial goods and services for the potential and future use in times of war . The President appointed a nonpartisan advisory commission associated with the council in October 1916 . The commission comprised seven men with specialized knowledge in a profession or field of industry . Its first members were Daniel Willard ( Baltimore , Maryland ) , president of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad ; Samuel Gompers ( Washington , D . C . ) , president of the American Federation of Labor ; Dr . Franklin H . Martin ( Chicago , Illinois ) , a distinguished surgeon who founded the American College of Surgeons ; Howard E . Coffin ( Detroit , Michigan ) , head of the Committee on Industrial Preparedness , who had experience coordinating the auto industry in emergencies ; Bernard Baruch ( New York , New York ) , a prominent banker ; Dr . Hollis Godfrey ( Philadelphia , Pennsylvania ) , president of the Drexel Institute ; and Julius Rosenwald ( Chicago , Illinois ) , president of Sears , Roebuck & Co . Beginning in May 1917 , the Council asked individual states to create their own Councils of Defense to assist the federal Council in carrying out its work . Some formed separate Women ' s Committees of National Defense and Southern states , at the urging of the National Council , formed organizations for Negroes . In January 1920 , the Council recommended the creation of an Expert Survey Board to conduct research studies over the next six months to enable speedy mobilization in the event of another war . Disestablishment . The activities of the Council of National Defense were suspended in 1921 .
Sword bayonet A sword bayonet is any long , knife - bladed bayonet designed for mounting on a musket or rifle . Its use is thought to have begun in the 18th century and to have reached its height of popularity throughout the 19th and into the early 20th centuries . When unmounted from a musket or rifle , sword bayonets with their typical hilt s and long blades also could be wielded as short sword s . While modern military bayonets typically have knife blades , they are usually too short to be called sword bayonets and are more akin to fighting / utility knives . A typical example of an early sword bayonet is the 58 centimetre ( 23 inch ) blade variety designed for the Infantry rifle , later called the Baker rifle of the Napoleonic era British Army . It was intended , when fitted to the bar on the side of the muzzle , to provide a more lethal defence against cavalry when combined infantry formed squares , and , it was hoped , a better hand - to - hand combat weapon when used detached . In truth , most riflemen found it worked better for cutting brush and roasting meat over a fire . ( " see Rifleman Harris , Costello ' s , Simmons ' s diaries " ) Riflemen also found that when the sword fitted , the Baker rifle became unbalanced and less effective for loading and then shooting accurately . Riflemen therefore removed the sword when shooting . The German " Schlachtmesser " ( battle knife ) was better in this respect . With the appearance of the hiltless sword bayonet , such as the socket - mounted variety , their use on the end of the musket or rifle also became a hindrance during the reloading of the muzzle - loaded longarm , ( a common problem to all muzzle - loading infantry weapons ) . A bayonet of similar style and dimension was used on the Lee - Enfield rifle of the early 20th century . However , the advantages of sword bayonets over spike bayonets are evident . Where a spike bayonet turns the rifle into a spear , a sword bayonet turns it into a glaive . Unlike spike bayonets , which can be used only for thrusting , sword bayonets can also be used for slashing . Twisting a sword bayonet in the wound was especially lethal . Before the advent of modern medicine after World War I , a soldier struck by a sword bayonet was very unlikely to survive . While most sword bayonets have straight blades , a popular variant in the 19th century featured sinuous , S - curved blades like those found on the Balkan ' s and Middle - East ' s sword called the yataghan . Today , sword bayonets of this style are said to have " yataghan " blades , or to be " yataghan - bladed " . Both sword and spike bayonets lost their popularity after World War I . While sword bayonets can be effective as short sword s , they proved to be too unwieldy in cramped quarters in trench warfare , although spike bayonets continued to be used throughout most of the 20th century . A shorter version of the sword bayonet , the knife bayonet , was developed . Today , the majority of modern bayonets are knife bayonets .
