This is the introduction for the video that we are going to take at Fort Siloso.

Lim Bo Seng was born in China 27 April 1909. When the Japanese push to take Singapore, Lim Bo Seng fled to India where he met John, Davis and Richard Broome, who were recruiting men for the anti-Japanese resistance force in the jungles of Malaya. Lim Bo Seng went back to Malaya by submarine in 1943.

Lim Bo Seng was held in high regard by the British and other members of Force 136 for his patriotism, leadership and organizational abilities. After receiving training from the British in India, the men of Force 136 were allocated into Malaya through submarine in groups. Lim Bo Seng was ill at that time, having just gone for an operation in India before arriving in Malaya.

Following the surrender of the Japanese in Malaya in September 1945, the accolades for Lim Bo Seng began to flow in. The british cluster after their disastrous capitulation and plans were afoot to regain their lost territories. However, they lacked intelligence on the Japanese troops in Malaya and this could only be reminded if they had a good intelligence network on the ground. With Lim Bo Seng’s help, the British joined forces with Nationalist China to recruit and train the Force 136 members, which consist of overseas Malayan Chinese. The first team, Gustavus, departed for Malayan on 11th May 1943 and landed in Tanjong Hantu on the 24th. Following groups were landed along the west coast of Malaya. Later on, in the war, Force 136 members were landed into various Malayan States.

Lim Bo Seng was then captured and tortured by the Japanese military police for not revealing the names of leaders who work with him.

What is Force 136?

Force 136 was the general cover name for a branch of the British World War II organization, the Special Operations Executive. It operated in the regions of the South-East Asian Theatre of World War II which were occupied by Japan from 1941 to 1945.

What is the purpose of it?

Its purpose was to incite, organise and supply indigenous resistance forces in enemy-occupied territory. Initially, the enemy was Nazi Germany and Italy, but from late 1940, it became clear that conflict with Japan was also inevitable.

What are the missions that they had done?

Two missions were sent to set up (and assume political control of) the SOE in the Far East. The first SOE mission was led by former businessman, Valentine Killery, who set up his HQ in singapore.A resistance organisation was set up in Malaya, but Singapore was captured soon after Japan entered the war on December 7, 1941.

A second mission was set up in India by another former businessman, Colin Mackenzie of J. and P. Coats, a clothing manufacturer. Mackenzie’s India Mission originally operated from Meerut in North West India. The location was governed with the fear that the Germans might overrun the Middle East and Caucasus, in which case resistance movements would be established in Afghanistan, Persia and Iraq. When this threat was removed late in 1942, the focus was switched to South East Asia.

The India Mission’s first cover name was GS I(k), which made it appear to be a mere record-keeping branch of GHQ India. The name, Force 136 was adopted in March 1944. From December 1944, it moved to Kandy in Ceylon, and cooperated closely with South East Asia Command.

The Force was wound up in 1946, along with the rest of SOE.

Where did it operates in?

It operates in countries such as :

Malaya, China, Thailand, Burma, Karens, Arakanese and Kachins.

Problems they face to carry out mission

They were hampered by the great distances involved to carry out their mission. Such distances also made it difficult to use small clandestine craft to deliver supplies or personnel by sea. The Royal Navy made few submarines available to Force 136.

Conclusion:
I personally think that the force 136 had to undergone so many difficulties to help singapore was worth it as we know that their acts of herosim was recorded down.We can learn from the force that one had to perserve till the end even if they failed.
