We took the MRT to a stop near Fort Canning Park and found our way uphill on winding sidewalks to the Battle Box. The Battle Box was a bunker used during World War II as a command post prior to the fall of Singapore to the Japanese.
The interactive museum takes visitors through the final desperate days before Singapore's fall. Crude, animatronic British generals relive the decisions they made to relinquish control of the City to the enemy in the face of water, food, and fuel shortages. It was fascinating to experience this period of Singapore's history.
