My Alexandra Heritage Tour: Labrador Route [English] (11 May 2024)

My Alexandra Heritage Tour : Labrador Route

Do you know what happened to the villagers in Queenstown during World War II? Do you know if the 6-inch QF gun pounders at Labrador were used to fire at the Japanese troops during World War II?

My Alexandra Heritage Tour explores the military installations constructed by the British to defend Singapore's naval outpost at Keppel Harbour. Join us as we explore the military history of Alexandra from the Gun Post in Fort Pasir Panjang and Keppel Harbour, to the Berlayer Beacon and Former Pasir Panjang Power Station.
