Letter from Naval Base bus service operator to the Captain of Dockyard with attached bus service routine sheet

This letter documents the Naval Base bus service operator’s request for more petrol to ensure the smooth running of bus services within the compound. The Naval Base, which opened in Sembawang in 1938, was considered to have a significant role to play in the British defence strategy against the Japanese threat of war in the Far East. Run by Mr Cheong Ah Kee, the Naval Base bus service provided shuttle services between different points within the grounds of the Naval Base.
