I was raised in a POW camp and this is what I remember most

Jenny Martin’s earliest memory is that of a fence. A huge one, which towered over her small frame as armed guards walked behind her.

‘It is a very simple memory,’ Jenny, now 82, tells Metro. ‘I was two-years-old and it was enormously high. I had no idea of the world behind it.’

Jenny had been born in Changi, a prisoner-of-war (POW) camp in Singapore.
