This year marks the 70th anniversary since Singapore fell to the Japanese Army during World War II.
And to rediscover Singapore's war history, the National Heritage Board has developed a new mobile application, together with the National Archives of Singapore, and Learning & Development Resources (LDR).
NHB has also partnered the National Cadet Corps to complement the launch of the app.
National Cadet Corps members have been trained (by NHB and LDR) to conduct tours for some 130 schools islandwide.
"This experience has taught me a lot about the history of Singapore, especially about the Japanese attack plans and British defence plans. It's very comprehensive. Before this experience, I knew very little about the specifics of Singapore history, especially during World War II," said NCC member Keith Chong.
Through the "Battle for Singapore" app, users are taken on a learning journey to experience Singapore's war history.
