Victory War Memorial, formerly called the Cupid's bow, is an obelisk memorial in Chennai, India, originally constructed to commemorate the victory of the Allied Armies during World War I (1914–1918) and later became the victory war memorial for World War II (1939–1945), erected in the memory of those from the Madras presidency who died in the wars.[1][2] Later additions include inscriptions for the Indo-Pakistani war of 1947–1948 and the Sino-Indian War.
