The Fall of Singapore 1942 - Memories at Old Ford Factory

The Old Ford Factory is a historic building in Singapore located at (map) 351, Upper Bukit Timah Road, Singapore. This plant most remembered as the place where the negotiation took place between British (Lt. Gen. Percival) and Japanese (Gen. Yamashita), where finally the British agreed to unconditionally surrender to Japanese Army on 15 Feb 1942, marked the Fall of Singapore.

The gallery showcases the events leading up to the British surrender, life during the "Syonan Years" (Singapore under Japanese Rule 1942 to 1945) and the return of British administration.
