Biography
|
Father a MoD(N) Civilian Engineer was posted with family from Portsmouth to Singapore Naval Dockyard twice. 1958 to 1961 and 1962 to 1965. I attended both the Royal Naval School and Alexandra Grammar School before enrolling into a MoD(N) engineering apprenticeship in Singapore Naval Dockyard. In recent years I have returned to Singapore many times and have been surprised to learn that a lot of ‘British activity in Singapore’ has either gone unrecorded or been distorted in local records. With the help of ex-Singapore Brits now residing around the world I have worked with Singapore historians to enhance their records including those of the Singapore National Archives.
