Description
English: SS EMPRESS OF ASIA beached and burning. Most of the troops on board were rescued, but nearly all their weapons and equipment were lost. EMPRESS OF ASIA was the only vessel of the convoy reinforcing Malaya to be lost under the air attack. The vessel on the right is SS FELIX ROUSELL. The convoy comprised four vessels bringing the remainder of the 18th British Division to Singapore, and was the last convoy to reach the island before it fell.
