Hi Tunster.This is my photo of Queen Victoria Memorial, and gardens. the rear of photo says -Victoria Memorial and Gardens Colombo Ceylon 26-2-57.- taken while on 4 hrs shore leave when HMT. Nevasa anchored in the Harbour to take on supplies etc. This matches your dads photo although taken from a different angle. Perhaps one of the forum members will tell us if these gardens are still remain today. Bryan Panter.

Re: Queen Victoria Memorial
Was last in Colombo in 2011. The statue is no longer in the gardens but has been relocated. Some information here
