An artillery batallion seems to have landed. One battery in the foreground is ready to march: tractors, limbers and howitzers are ready to roll. In the background howitzers wait for their tractors and limbers that still have to be disembarked.

Nuyt;
This could very well be the landing at Singapore of "B" and "C" Batteries, 155th (Lanarkshire) Field Regiment, R.A., who arrived at Singapore on 3rd September, 1941, joining the 11th Indian Division, and who were equipped with the 4.5-inch howitzer. The 155th Field Regiment, R.A. was lost at Singapore on 15 February, 1942.
