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

72nd anniversary of the invasion of Singapore island
Today marks the anniversary when Japanese forces attacked the North West side of Singapore after a heavy and sustained artillery barrage. A week later Singapore surrendered. The Straits Times ran an article yesterday of Singapore's WW2 related tours.
