[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 159959"] Actually I would say Singapore would be a sore subject with any 2nd World War veteran, especially in the way in which the British commanders there sold out both the men under their command and the people of the city itself to the Japanese. I think one surviving chap who managed to get through all of the Japanese POW camps remarked that Arthur Percival (the commander of British & Commonwealth forces at Singapore) should have been hung, not least for cowardice.
