Located within the depths of the historic and luxuriant Fort Canning Hill, the Battlebox is Singapore’s only World War II bunker that is still operational, albeit as a historic site, today. Built in 1936 and completed in 1939, the Battlebox served as the headquarters for the defending Allied forces against the invading Japanese army in the final days of the Malayan Campaign (8 Dec 1941 — 15 Feb 19

42). It was here that Lieutenant-General Arthur Percival and 11 other commanders made the decision to surrender Singapore to the Japanese, resulting in possibly the greatest defeat of a British army ever in battle and the beginning of 3 ½ years of the Japanese Occupation of Singapore.

On This Day in History - August 15, 1945

Japanese Emperor Hirohito addressed his people in the historic “Jewel Voice Broadcast” (Gyokuon-hōsō), announcing Japan’s surrender and marking the end of World War II.

At Battlebox, we remember this as a turning point and a reminder of the devastating cost of war and the enduring importance of peace.

Join us for our Victory over Japan Day Commemoration:
🎥 Limited-time Screening: A special video timeline tracing the final, pivotal moments of 1945 that led to Japan’s surrender - from Hiroshima and Nagasaki to the signing ceremonies in Tokyo Bay, Keppel Harbour, and Singapore.
