About this audio guide
This guide to the Changi Chapel & Museum in Singapore follows Bombardier Stanley Warren, a malnourished Allied prisoner of war who, in 1942, began painting biblical murals on the walls of St Luke's Chapel inside Roberts Barracks, with paint smuggled in by fellow prisoners at real risk to themselves. It traces what happened after the Japanese painted over his work in 1943, and the decade the murals spent hidden beneath the whitewash. You'll also hear about the museum's replicas, since the originals now sit inside a restricted military zone.
