The Great Siege Tunnels

The Great Siege Tunnels were a series of underground passages built by the British during the 1957 Siege of Malaya, intended to infiltrate and attack invading forces. Carved through limestone limestone and existing tunnels, they allowed soldiers to move secretly beneath enemy lines, launch surprise assaults, and conduct reconnaissance without detection. These tunnels demonstrated engineering ingenuity, providing strategic advantages during the siege. Today, they serve as historical sites, offering insight into wartime tactics and the resourcefulness of those involved in the conflict.
