ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

Delivered by their daughter Jackie Sutherland on the day of her parents anniversary, Children of FEPOW is the untold story of Edinburgh residents Jack and Elizabeth Ennis, who endured three years of Japanese captivity in Singapore (1942–1945). Their wartime experiences—and the journey of remembrance that followed—are revealed through the secret diaries kept by Jack Ennis while imprisoned.

Hear a first-hand account of captivity, vividly illustrated with contemporary photographs and sketches.

All admission money raised will go directly to support charities

  • Highly Acclaimed: This talk has already been featured at respected institutions including the Black Watch Museum, the Gordon Highlanders Museum, and Stirling Castle.

Join us to honour their sacrifice and witness the enduring power of the human spirit.

ALL PROCEEDS GO TO CHARITY
