Ivan Simson

Simson was tasked with improving the defenses in Singapore in the face of possible attack by the Japanese, although Simson's defensive recommendations were largely rejected by his commander, Arthur Percival, as being bad for morale. Previously he was Deputy Chief Engineer Scottish Command. The Battle of Singapore from 8–15 February resulted in a decisive Japanese victory and the capture of Percival, Simson, and the majority of troops under them.
