Surrender Chambers in Fort Siloso

Fort Siloso is a decommissioned coastal artillery battery in Sentosa, Singapore. It consists of 12 such batteries which made up "Fortress Singapore" at the start of World War II, and saw action during the Battle of Singapore. The fort is now a military museum open to the public.[1] The Surrender Chambers in Fort Siloso reopened in June 2017 with a refreshed exhibition and free admission.
