80 years on from the Fall of Singapore in February 1942. Listen to Lieutenant Colonel ALS Boswell as he discusses the events which led to the capture of the men of the 2nd Battalion Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders.
“To lose the initiative in the jungle is death. The real pressure was having to anticipate the next move of the Japanese in the fast flowing battles operating a series of running ambushes during the fighting retreat” – Lieutenant Colonel Ian Stewart
Thank you for watching our Winter Lecture Series. We would not be able to do events such as this if it were not for the kind donations from people like you. You can find the donation button below and we very much appreciate anything you would be able to give in order to support the museum.
Do you have the names of the men in this photo please? I am trying to locate any photos of piper James Mclean ,2979505 thank you
Unfortunately we often do not hold names of soldiers in group photos as they weren’t always recorded at the time and the information is now lost. You could submit a research request if you are interested in seeing if we hold any information on the soldier though: https://argylls.co.uk/the-regiments-history/research-enquiries/
