Visit WW2 sites including the Kranji War Memorial, the Landing Beaches and the Battlefield Sites on Singapore's North coast. In addition, we will explore the Kent Ridge and Pasir Panjang area where one of the last, and certainly the fiercest, battle in Singapore took place with heroic resistance by the Malay Regiment. We will also discuss the Southern defences which proved to be less effective than planned since the Japanese did not come from the sea as anticipated.
The route we will take from Kranji to Pasir Panjang will be that taken by the Japanese troops as they overran the island. We will also pass by a number of other significant places such as the Last Defence Pillbox and the old Ford Factory, the site of the surrender of the Allies to the Japanese.
