About	Singapore 1985 slide ====================== Only the army could stop the Japanese advance on Singapore. The army in the area was led by Lieutenant General Arthur Percival. He had 90,000 men there – British, Indian and Australian troops. The Japanese advanced with 65,000 men lead by General Tomoyuki Yamashita. Many of the Japanese troops had fought in the Manchurian/Chinese campaign and were battle-hardened. Many of Percival’s 90,000 men had never seen combat. At the Battle of Jitra in Malaya (December 11th and 12th 1941), Percival’s men were soundly beaten and from this battle were in full retreat. The Japanese attack was based on speed, ferocity and surprise. To speed their advance on Singapore, the Japanese used bicycles as one means of transport. Captured wounded Allied soldiers were killed where they lay. Those who were not injured but had surrendered were also murdered – some captured Australian troops were doused with petrol and burned to death. Locals who had helped the Allies were tortured before being murdered. The brutality of the Japanese soldiers shocked the British. But the effectiveness of the Japanese was shown when they captured the capital of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, on January 11th 1942. ================== This image is dedicated to Manuel. Well in fact jd.In the series Fawlty Towers, Manuel had the Spanish nationality. However when broadcasted in Spain he suddenly originated from Mexico. Since our beloved doc in Most times in Spain, another times in Mexico I think the name Manuel is more appropiate for jd jejejejejeje ;-) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manuel_(Fawlty_Towers)

jd,

"When told by either Basil, Sybil or Polly what to do, he frequently answers "sí" ('yes'), and "¿qué?" ('what?') which once led to queries about a Mr "C.K. Watt"."

Buy a mescal, make it half a bottle. I will pay.
Si ?
