Tucked into the hillside of Fort Canning is The Battle Box, the underground operations centre of the British Malaya Command HQ during World War II. Comprising 22 rooms linked by a corridor, this complex is bomb-proof and was also capable of recycling its own air supply. The Battle Box has undergone extensive restoration and through the use of special audio and video effects, and high-quality animatronics, visitors are able to relive the morning of 15 February 1942 when Singapore fell to the Japanese.
