2nd Battalion, Gordon Highlanders were posted to Singapore in 1937. When the Japanese invaded Malaya in 1941, the Battalion fought bravely until the surrender of Singapore in 1942. Those who were not killed became POWs. Of the 1000 men involved initially, over 400 died by their liberation in 1945. This is their story.
