Between the height of the French Indochina War in the 1950s and the fall of Phnom Penh and Saigon in 1975, a total of 135 photographers from all sides of the conflict were recorded as missing or dead. Three Singaporean photographers, Sam Kai Faye, Terrence Khoo, who were former Straits Times photojournalists, and Charles Chellapah, who worked for the now-defunct Malayan Times, were among these valiant men and women who went to Vietnam and Indochina to document the conflict. The exhibition also includes photographs by well-known photographers who died in Indochina or in Vietnam such as Robert Capa, Larry Burrows and Henri Huet. These photograph were gathered by Horst Faas and Tim Page, two photographers who were wounded in but survived the Vietnam War.
