Not titled [view of ocean from shoreline]

A scene from the shore of an unidentifiable beach looking out to the ocean. There are tall palm trees and in the distance some low lying mountains. Allister Greig was a South Australian-born commercial artist who served in the first AIF and was a civilian internee in Singapore from 1942 to 1945. He was an amateur magician and was caught by prison guards performing magic tricks for POWs in Changi. The guards thought he was making secret signals, and put him into solitary confinement as punishment. In these cells, originally intended for Asiatic prisoners, three Europeans were forced to live in isolation for 22 months before being transferred to Sime Road Internment Camp.
