Martyrs Memorial Secondary loses 60-year-old dormitory

The John Duffill dormitory is more than 60-years-old. It was built in the 1950s by missionary builders and named after an Australian missionary killed by the Imperial  Japanese Army  during World War Two. By 4pm, the rest of the wooden building could not be saved as the fire reached the upper level of the dormitory. “By then, I  told students to move their things out and to stop their attempts to save the building. It  was too difficult to save the dormitory.” Martyrs Memorial School was  built in memory of  Anglican missionaries killed in World War Two. Each of the dormitories are named after  the missionaries. The school recently celebrated seventy years of its existence and has been in desperate need of rehabilitation. Former students have begun discussions to raise funds to assist students and the chaplain’s family.]]>
