Singapore 1942

I have set up this site to support my research related to the events and personal stories concerning the fall of Singapore in February 1942. Specifically my interest relates to the evacuation of civilians and military personnel from Keppel harbour where most of the evacuation ships left from in the last days before Singapore capitulated to the Japanese. http://www.twitter.com/singapore1942 You can contact me on davidahope@gmail.com

18 km march to Changi Prison

Today at the Singapore rugby 7s tournament the Sandbaggers group stood in the pouring rain at the start of their Padang to Changi Prison march to follow the path that the POWs would have taken 70 years ago after the fall of Singapore. The crowd stood for a minute silence before the group matched off on their journey.
