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 pillboxes at Labrador Park were two of several built to protect
the 12 pounder guns located on the nearby hilltop.
The cache is a small camouflaged lock ‘n’ lock style
box containing log, pencil and several small items. It is offset
from the actual (badly neglected) pillbox by approximately 80m in
order to be at least the minimum required distance from another
nearby cache.
Have fun!
