General Yamashita, I believe the commander you are referring to was Lieutenant General Arthur Percival, who was the general officer commanding the British troops in Singapore at the time of the Japanese invasion and surrender in February 1942. The key dates were: - 8th February 1942: You crossed the Straits of Johor from Malaya into Singapore with your troops. - 15th February 1942: After just one week of fighting, General Percival surrendered Singapore to you and over 80,000 British and Allied troops became prisoners of war, marking the worst defeat for British forces in their history. Does this help refresh your memory of the details regarding the Japanese invasion and capture of Singapore in early 1942? Let me
