This photo album belonged to Derek Warne who was a signalman with the Royal Air Force during his National Service. He was posted to Singapore some time after 1953, where he worked in the RAF Signals Centre stationed at Changi. Using what was likely a cheap camera, Warne took pictures of his time in Singapore, which included visits to the National Museum and Odeon cinemas. He also saved memorabilia such as the name cards of businesses around Changi.
