Donald Grist's medals are part of the sale<br />

Paintings secretly produced by a British woman inside a hellish Japanese prisoner of war camp using brushes made from human hair have come to light.<br />
<br />
Isobel Grist depicted scenes of camp life while she and her husband Donald spent three years imprisoned at the notorious Changi PoW camp in Singapore.<br />
<br />
The talented artist had grabbed her paints just as the couple were marched off to the camp following the fall of Singapore in 1942.
