In THE CHANGI CAMERA, acclaimed author Tim Bowden presents a unique record of one Australian soldier's experience of the fall of Singapore, captivity in Changi and enduring the hell of the Thai-Burma Railway. George Aspinall was a keen photographer and, even in the very worst of conditions, he managed to take photos, process them and so preserve for later generations the reality of incarceration. Along with George's own memories of those years, Tim Bowden has written a gripping and authoritative overview of what happened in Changi and on the Railway. This powerful narrative and unique collection of almost one hundred photographs combine to give us a raw and graphic account of just what George and thousands of his fellow Australians endured.

A Great and Historical Book

Most interesting. I have the other Changi Camera book by Tim Bowden. This one tells the story of George Aspinall. I had an Uncle who was captured at the Fall of Singapore and transferred to Changi and worked on the infamous Thai Burma Railway. To my amazement, my Uncle appeared in a photograph in the 1st Book and this was also included in the book under review.
