Some sixty-five survivors from HMS Thanet including Lt. Cmdr. Davies were able to make their way in small groups down the coast back to Singapore. Another 31 were picked up by the Japanese destroyer Shirayuki after the battle. Thirty of the latter were handed over to the Army at Endau the following day. They are believed to have been executed shortly afterwards.
