The British SIFE (Singapore Infants and Fostering Establishment) headquarters was located at the Old Hill Street Police Station in Singapore. After the fall of Singapore to Japanese forces during World War II in February 1942, the building was repurposed for various uses, including as a military headquarters. The British colonial administration was significantly disrupted, leading to the establishment of Japanese military rule in the region.
During World War II, Singapore was occupied by the Japanese Empire. After the war, the British Empire took control of Malaya and built the port at Singapore.
During World War II, the British Special Operations Executive (SOE) headquarters in Cairo was located at 22, Rue de la Terasse, near the British Embassy. This location served as a central hub for planning and coordinating covert operations in occupied Europe and the Middle East. The strategic position of Cairo made it an important base for British intelligence and military operations during the war.
