2nd edition including the Changi Quilts by Shelia Allan published 1999, Kangaroo Press, Australia
This book is the moving personal account of a young girl living in the midst of hardship and adversity. Written on scaps of paper which were kept hidden in her quarters, Sheila Allan's diary is a record of the daily lives of those interned in Changi. On the one hand, these were years of wasted youth; on the other, they provided a rich learning experience in a community of close comradeship. Tolerance, humour and creativity, and above all, an undying hope for the future, colour her memories of this period.
This new edition includes information on the Changi Quilts. These embroidered squares, individually created and signed by the women interees, were sewn together into three separate quilts. The quilts can be seen at the War Memorial in Canberra.
Shelia Bruhn (nee Allan) was born in Malaysia before the outbreak of World War 11. At the age of seventeen, she was taken prisoner by the Japanese in Singapore. After her release she moved to Australia, where she took up nursing and raised a family.
Illustrated - b&w photos and colour photos of the quilts.
