I need to do a source analysis on this source(inference, evidence, explanation): We had been informed that the HMS Repulse and HMS Prince of Wales* had been sunk by the Japanese. Radio broadcasts and newspapers in Singapore sought to reduce the importance of the naval disaster. They also urged the people to remain strong, loyal and confident and informed them that better days were ahead. Large military reinforcements were coming to Singapore, so we were told. Singapore as the Gibraltar of the East# could be held by the British indefinitely. We were thus comforted and reassured.
Thank youu
