Vunapope Roman Catholic Mission
Prewar Roman Catholic Mission located on the hilltop. During the war, civilian missionaries were detained here in a 'concentration camp' guarded by the Kempi-tai, where Catholics, Lutherans and other religious people were grouped, including local followers and half-castes, numbering about 300 people. During the heavy bombing of February - March, the guards fled, but returned on March 30th. They were allowed to endure here until mid-1944, when they were relocated inland to the Ramale Valley on May 12th, due to heavy bombing of the mission. An account of life at the mission from 1943 through May 1944 is written by James Benson in his book Prisoner's Base and Home Again.
