The Battlebox is Singapore's only operational World War II bunker, located within the historic Fort Canning Hill. This underground command center served as the headquarters of the British Far East Command during the Malayan Campaign and the Battle of Singapore in 1942. The bunker witnessed the fateful decision to surrender Singapore to Japanese forces, marking a pivotal moment in the island's military history.

Today, it operates as a museum and historical site, offering visitors a glimpse into the strategic operations and conditions faced by Allied forces during the final days of British rule in Singapore.
