caption_attribution_description: English: Changi Chapel at Duntroon dedicated to Australian POWs.
context_page_description: The Changi Museum is a museum dedicated to Singapore's history during the Second World War and the Japanese occupation of Singapore in particular.
context_section_description: After the war, the original chapel was dismantled and moved to Australia, where it was reconstructed and unveiled in 1988 as part of the Prisoner of War National Memorial in Duntroon, a suburb of Canberra.
  In 1988, Singapore built a replica chapel and museum next to the Changi Prison.  When Changi Prison was expanded in 2001, the chapel and museum was relocated to a new site 1 km away and the Changi Chapel and Museum was officially established on 15 February 2001. Bernard Stogden, the son of Sgt. Harry Stogden, was invited to place the cross that his father made onto the wreathed altar in the new Chapel. He was claimed to have cried while doing so, as this was one of the only chances he got to interact with his father (through his work) as "Harry" Stogden died during the war.
