Civillian War dead in Singapore

Hi,
I know that this is getting away from the upkeep of the English gravestones but does anyone have any idea what or where the English civillian war dead have been remembered?
My Aunt, Alice Gwendoline Wilkinson was killed on the Yin Ping in the Bankla Straits on evacuation of Singapore. She is listed on the CWGC site but no mention of any headstone.
I would love to visit her grave this year as we are travelling abroad and plan to visit Singapore and the UK.
My Uncle Patrick Ormond Wilkinson was a Lieutenant in the RN and survived the bombing but endured 4 years in POW camps in Changi and other destinations after the loss of his new wife.
Any info on this subject would be appreciated.
