Java Memorial Windows

Replicas of two Java Memorial Windows made by a British naval officer, Lt Cdr H C Upton RNVR, while a prisoner of war at Tandjong Priok camp near Batavia, Java. They were designed for the tiny St. George's Chapel which had been built within the camp by the prisoners between April - July 1942. Over 60 years on, the originals survive and are on permanent display at the Anglican Church of All Saints, Jakarta. The replicas, alongside 2 additional windows by David Hillhouse are now on display at National Memorial Arboretum, Alrewas, Staffordshire.
