Angus Wallace covers the February 1942 massacre at Alexandra Hospital during the final days of the British defence of Singapore — Japanese troops killing patients, medical staff, and others in a Red Cross-marked facility. The episode places the atrocity within the broader collapse of the Singapore perimeter, giving it military context rather than treating it as an isolated horror. A grim but necessary piece of the Fall of Singapore story.
