The Battle Box,
located at 51 Canning Rise at the famous Fort
Canning Park, is a former bombproof World War II
bunker which was also Singapore's largest military complex,
where Lt-Gen Percival made his fateful decision
to surrender to the invading Japanese troops.
This underground military headquarters during
Word War II can be found in a park on Fort
Canning Hill. It houses more than twenty Photo:
Battle Box rooms
and tunnels and through the use of audio visual effects,
animatronics and specially-crafted figurines,
visitors are brought back to the fateful morning
of the 15th February 1942, the fall
of Singapore.
