General Arthur Ernest Percival, surrendered the city to General Tomoyuki Yamashita of the Imperial Japanese Army.
Yes or no?" Percival replied faintly, almost abjectly, with bowed head: "Yes." Within a few hours he and all his officers were in prison camps, together with 120,000 other subjects of the British Crown.
Percival survived his ignominy to witness, hardly less allegorically, the final surrender of Japan on the American battleship U.S.S. Missouri in Tokyo Bay.

 Abebooks: King Arthur
Although the original Arthur lived around the year 500ad, and stories about him were circulating by the ninth century, he did not shoot into prominence until the 1130s when an Oxford cleric, Geoffrey of Monmouth, issued his Historia Regum Britanniae.
Pertaining to be a translation into Latin of an old Celtic text, this was a legendary history of the kings of Britain from the time of Brutus (in the years after the Fall of Troy) down to the death of Cadwaladr in the seventh century, a span of some 1,600 years.
The first novel to set Arthur in his proper historical setting, rather than Malory’s world, was Cian of the Chariots by William H. Babcock (Lothrop, 1898), an uncommon book and not highly collected, although it is valued at £50 or more.

Percival's previous command-in-action was the Essex Regiment fighting Tom Barry's West Cork IRA Flying Column, and the people of West 1.

This Irish command was Percival's last command-in-action before he “fell into” the supreme command of allied forces on the Malaysian Peninsula.

Produced in the waning days of the New York-based Thanhouser company, Willkie Collins' classic Gothic mystery also became one of the last films of Thanhouser's leading lady Florence La Badie, who died in a car accident soon after.
In a much heralded dual-role, La Badie played the title character, a weak-minded girl escaping from the asylum from which she was committed years before by evil Sir Percival Glyde (Richard R. Neill), and Laura Fairlie, the new Lady Glyde, whom she strongly resembles.
There is a fiendish plot to substitute one girl with the other for pecuniary reasons; a villain with a "foreign" sounding name (Arthur Bauer), and, of course, a dashing hero (Wayne Arey) who saves the damsel in distress in the proverbial nick of time.

In early 1942 General Arthur Ernest Percival, under pressure from Japanese attackers, ordered the retreat of his troops from Malaya to make a last stand on Singapore Island.
