Remembering our shared history through the harmony of song.
Last Friday, High Commissioner Mudie along with members of the Australian Defence Force were pleased to attend and support Heritage in Harmony—a collaboration between the Australian International School and HeritageSG that brought the Changi Souvenir Song Album to life.
Performed by talented AIS students, the songs were written by Australian prisoners of war Ray Tullipan and Slim de Grey during their time in Changi. Created to sustain morale and foster hope amid immense hardship, the music stands as a powerful testament to resilience, courage and the enduring human spirit.
Thank you to Australian International School , HeritageSG and the Changi Chapel and Museum for partnering on this meaningful project and for including Australia in commemorating an important chapter of Singapore’s history.
The event also reflected the deep bonds between Australia and Singapore, and the enduring defence partnership built on decades of friendship, trust and shared service.
Lest we forget.
