Japanese Invasion of Singapore 1942 - Battle of Choa Chu Kang.

The Argyll and Sutherland Regiment of the 12th Indian Brigade made their last stand during the battle for Singapore at a place called Dairy Farm in Bukit Timah.
Part 1 is the story of how the unit fought against Japanese armoured tanks.
Part 2 will reveal how the unit disintegrated against a determined invader.

Thank you James, awesome video. Should be included in the NSF national education.

Thanks for this clip. I live in BP for last 50yrs and I used to stay at the foothill of gombak where the current mindef is. Not sure whether are you aware of some tunnels in there leading out to bt timah hill coz when I was young I remembered seeing a big iron door at gombak but now there is no traces of it, guess mindef could hv removed all from history texts.

Thks for sharing James. An excellent detailed account. Great work👍

[@michaelpether1331]

An outstanding explanation of this part of the battle of Singapore! Your use of graphics, original and contemporary film and photos is the best I have come across on wartime history in Singapore. Congratulations.

[@elijahlwh9484]

Well done 👍🏻 James!

[@mrmarkroche1]

Brilliant narrative and historical analysis of the Fall of Singapore. Hollywood should make a movie of this tragedy. James I highly commend you for your work in putting this together ✊. I think Mindef should make this part of their SAF history for NSF

[@RO-pd2nn]

Thanks. Excellent job. I lived in Hillview but had no idea of our history until now. 👍

[@MrPeter-sn1yp]

@James Tann - Looking forward to Part 2. We hope that you can provide further information on the Tank Companies of the Japanese 1st Tank Regiment involved in decimating the 12th Indian Infantry Brigade at the Bukit Panjang Village in Part 2 of your video.

Thanks for sharing

Thank you for this video, truly informative. I can only imagine all the 'inexplicable' actions you mentioned, can be explained by cowardice. And Percival certainly flaunted his English in his orders.

Awesome!

[@Thugzluv-kp1rs]

You were wrong. It was regiment askar melayu lead by lieutenant adnan at bukit candu was the fierce and last battle

[@zippsy]

I enjoyed this video three weeks ago. I'm curious though, do you have any information about the Massacre @ Dairy Farm???

[@JamesTann]

Thanks for watching. The massacre will be covered in Part 2 of this video which will be released shortly.
