| AdminHistory | During World War Two, following the fall of Singapore to the Japanese army in February 1942, a prisoner of war camp was established in Changi, Singapore. The Japanese used the British Army's Selarang Barracks to hold around 50,000 allied prisoners of war, predominantly British and Australian. About 850 POWs died in the camp during the occupation of Singapore. The occupation lasted until the end of the War in 1945. Michael Woodruff was held in the camp from 1943 to 1945 as he was a member of the Australian Army Medical Corps. |
