Olga Henderson, 91, has been reunited with a quilt she made with her fellow child prisoners.
The life of a prisoner in a Japanese World War Two camp was a meagre existence, but children in Singapore's notorious Changi prison managed to eke out a semblance of childhood.
In February 1942, Mrs Henderson lived in Johor Bahru, in British Malaya , with her parents and three siblings when, along with Singapore, it was invaded by the Japanese. Nine-year-old Olga Morris - as she was then known - and her family were forced to walk 17 miles without water to the centre of Singapore, then on to Changi and three years in captivity.While the horrors of Changi were unrelenting, with forced labour, food shortages and inhumane living conditions, the adults tried to establish some sense of normality for the children.
