About Elephant Pass War Memorial
The First Battle of Elephant Pass (Codenamed Operation Aakaya Kadal Veli, which means 'Air-Sea-Land' by LTTE) was fought in July 1991 for the control of the Sri Lankan military base of Elephant Pass, which was of strategic importance as it linked the northern mainland known as Wanni with the Jaffna Peninsula. The battle was fought between troops of the Sri Lankan army and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, commonly known as LTTE.
