Bonjour Tyrex,
Il y avait des Francais a Singapour en 42, des commercants et autres expats, comme un peu partout en Asie du Sud Est d'ailleurs. Ceci etant dit, bien d'accord avec vous, le role de la France dans la region durant la guerre a ete nul, mais il ne faut pas oublier les sacrifices consentis par l'armee francaise en Indochine durant cette triste periode.
Pour en revenir a Singapour:
Tyrex a écrit:(SSVF et MSV je crois..et je ne sais pas ce que cela signifie).
SSVF: Straits Settlements Volunteer Force et/ou Singapore Straits Volunteer Force
MSV, ou plutot FMSV: Federated Malay States Volunteer Force
Cordialement
Daniel
Ordre de batailles des forces du Commonwealth au Malaya et a Singapour en 41-42:
Pas d'unite Neo-Zelandaise mais j'ai vu de mes yeux vu des noms de Neo-Zelandais au memorial de la prison de Changi et au cimetiere militaire Commonwealth a Singapour. Donc il y en a eu, mais pas a titre d'unite. Specialistes individuels?
