Singapore and the 18th Division

Cpl Rootes · 25-05-2008, 01:07 PM

Does anyone know much about the 18th Division and the battle for Singapore? Did any members of the 18th get evacuated or fight on in small pockets of resistance or did they all surrender with Percival?

Did any of the regiments in the 18th reform and fight in other theaters (e.g. booth battalions of the Cambridgeshires were taken prisoner. Did they reform? Where did the other recruits from Cambridgeshire go?

Thanks for any help
