Sultan Shoal Lighthouse
We are honoured to accompany an amazing WWII British Officer's son, LTC Philip Mileham of UK Army in the "sea visiting" of Sultan Shoal Lighthouse on 30 Nov 2018.
Here is the story..… his father, Captain F. E. Mileham during final stages of the fighting on Singapore in Feb 194, a mixed party of about 10 British officers and Indian soldiers then determined to escape rather than surrender. Having carefully worked their way across the Island, taking several days, they found a tiny boat, shuttled out and spent 3 days on the lighthouse before getting hold of a small junk and sailing, 10 days after the surrender, to Sumatra, surviving both a storm and being strafed en-route.
We are fortunate to receive some remarkable scanned photos of the escape, including of the Sultan Shoal Lighthouse and his father’s written account. We believe his story could value add Singapore maritime and WWII narrative and, especially in making Sultan Shoal Lighthouse story more appealing to the next generation.
