A sketch of the church at Australian Prisoner of War and Internment Camp, Tatura, Victoria, drawn by A. Edoni, who was one of the inmates at the Camp. This drawing was souvenired by Marco Gazzi a fellow inmate, who was also one of the Dunera contingent of civil internees who came out from England in 1941 after he was arrested there while working in a business run by an Italian family [relatives] and hence deemed to be an 'enemy alien'. The sketch bears the title: 'La nostra chieseta di Tatura'.
