Alexandra Hospital Massacre

Warning: This blog contains details of the horrors of war that some may find confronting.

The Kranji Memorial contains nearly 4,500 graves in the war cemetery and over 24,000 names on the walls of the Singapore Memorial for which there are no known graves. Each grave, each name has a story. All have died in the service of their country.

On Panel 125 of the Singapore Memorial is the name GH MacDougal, a lance-sergeant in the 2/20th Battalion AIF. A man who was a hero to the end. This is the story of one of the greatest (if not the greatest) atrocity that occurred during the Fall of Singapore.
