Title: Reunion after six years. September 1945, returning to Hong Kong, the scene of his marriage, with the British Liberation Forces (see A 30575), Petty Officer John Wright-Brown of the Royal Navy was reunited with his wife and saw his five year-old daughter for the first time. They had been prisoners for three and a half years in Camp Stanley.

Description: Elizabeth Ann lost no time in devouring the contents of the haversack of the first English food she had ever seen. Mrs Wright-Brown and Elizabeth Ann are both wearing bathing costumes. The one recreational facility for the Camp Stanley internees was swimming.
