Thread Name: Surrender of Singapore
Subject: RE: Surrender of Singapore
Without wishing to add further fuel to the flames I must add that the victor's version of events after a conflict is usually the first to gain credence. Then, the revisionists ad nauseam and bit by bit the true version emerges. Only trouble is, by the time it does, a lot of entrenchment and bitterness has often become embedded in a nation's psyche.
