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
