About this programme

Conclusion. The chaotic end of the Second World War battle for Singapore, which saw General Yamashita's Japanese troops overwhelm Commonwealth forces - while Indian soldiers seeking independence from British rule turned on their former masters. The programme explores how ethnic divisions were amplified by the conflict, and recalls how the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders joined with Royal Marines to form the Plymouth Argylls. Narrated by Jamie Lee.
