This is the story of a chapel made from a nissen hut by Italian prisoners of war who had fought bravely in North Africa in the battle of El-Alamein but found themselves in a prison camp on Orkney a long way from home. Using whatever materials they could find such as an old car exhaust and concrete to make a font they produced a wonderful chapel which was surprisingly moving to experience.
