Not everyone knows or sees it, but there is still a bell behind the monument from 1995. As the bell is a later addition, the artist Dankowa did not want the bell to be placed next to the memorial because then it would appear as if the clock were part of her memorial. Then he was placed behind it.

The bronze bell behind the Indian Monument was placed in 1995 and was rung for the first time in the presence of Queen Beatrix. The bell rings annually on August 15 (the date of the Japanese surrender) for thirty minutes. The clock emphasizes that the Indian Monument is a sacred place.
The bell gave the monument a sound, a voice. A voice that not only remembers the victims of the war, but that also calls on and encourages everyone to commit themselves to maintaining peace. The clock
