A series of caches located at the last remaining World War II
pillboxes in Singapore.
Pillboxes were small concrete fortified structures built as machine
gun placements. Typically built along the eastern and southern
coastlines and complimenting other defences, the pillboxes were
positioned at strategic intervals to ensure a continuous,
overlapping field of fire and formed an important part of
Singapore’s Second World War defence strategy.
The pillbox at Pasir Panjang lies within the area defended by the
First Malaya Brigade, and was used by the Malay Regiment in their
fierce battle against the 18th Japanese Division in February
1942.
The cache is a small camouflaged plastic box containing log and
pencil.
Have fun!
