These photographs were taken in and around Pasir Panjang by Paul Harmer, whose family lived in Pasir Panjang Close during the 1970s. Harmer and his father Martin would often explore the area, including the ridge where the battle of Pasir Panjang was fought in 1942. On several occasions, the Harmers used a metal detector around the site of the battle and found items like bullets and shrapnel. Many of the bullets had also been exposed due to the nature of the terrain and the rainy weather.
