Thank you, @agmoore, for sharing this valuable information. I truly appreciate it and learned something new.
I’ve also noticed that many roads here in Singapore are named after historical figures I’m not entirely familiar with. This has inspired me to learn more about them, and I plan to share my findings during my next photowalk. Cheers!
My undergraduate degree is in history, and I taught it for a few years. I've forgotten a lot but that's the sort of thing that will jump out at me😇.
