Tan Chong Tee

Tan Chong Tee

Tan Chong Tee (born 1918) is a World War 2 veteran. Born in Shrewsbury Road, Singapore, Tan took part in many anti-Japanese activities like boycotting Japanese goods and fund raising since the Second Sino-Japanese war broke out in 1937.

Tan lost touch with his family in 1942 and joined the Force 136, befriending Lim Bo Seng. He took part in Operation Gustavus to resist the Japanese occupation. However, he was later captured in 1944 and spent the next 18 months in jail under the torture of the Japanese troops. When Tan was finally released from jail, he found out that his older brother Tan Chong Mao was executed by the Japanese and his mother was beaten to death by the Japanese.

He wrote an autobiography to tell the heroic stories of Force 136.
