Description

A view of some tents and wooden huts in the grounds near Roberts Barracks, part of Changi Prisoner of War (POW) camp. There is what appears to be a makeshift basketball hoop outside the tent in the foreground. This image was secretly taken by Major John Rosson and the camera and negatives were kept hidden from the Japanese throughout his internment.
