Essential viewing for history buffs and particularly for anyone interested in World War II military history, the Battlebox is an underground command post inside Fort Canning Hill in the heart of Singapore. The post played a crucial role during the WWII Japanese invasion of Singapore and is the place where the momentous decision was taken by the British commander to surrender Singapore to Japan in February 1942. Your guided Battlebox Tour will tell you all about the events that led to this surrender (the largest British capitulation in history) and show you how the underground command center functioned back then. If you would like to see more of Fort Canning Hill, you can sign up for the Of Graves, Guns and Battles Tour offered twice a week.
