Reunion at Changi
Description
Showing one of the members of 8th Australian Division greeting one of his countrymen who had just arrived in Singapore to release and succour those who have been incarcerated in the Gaol at Changi, the main entrance of which is shown in the picture. Other ex-prisoners-of-war are idly grouped around the gate watching the new arrivals and looking for possible familiar faces.
