Description

Australian Prisoners of War (POWs) attending an Anzac Day ceremony in the cemetery between Roberts Barracks and Selarang Barracks, part of Changi POW camp. Note the floral wreaths lying on the grave marked with a cross on which is written 'In Remembrance' that the soldiers are gathered around. This image was secretly taken by Major John Rosson and the camera and negatives were kept hidden from the Japanese throughout his internment.
