The fall of Singapore and the royal engineers

by PM_ME_DENTAL_PICS

Hi I have been looking at family history and found some new things about a great uncle who died in 43 after the fall of Singapore. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what happened to the prisoners of war on their way to Burma and what they did in Burma. In particular the royal engineers but I realise that may be a long shot. Thanks lads.
