About this audio guide
This guide to the Fullerton Hotel in Singapore begins in February 1942, when a grand granite building on the river had stopped sorting letters and started sorting the wounded. You'll hear what it was built for in 1928, including a very long counter and a tunnel under the road, and who sheltered upstairs as the British commander and the Governor faced the end of the campaign. Best heard standing under the colonnade, looking up.
