On the 1st November 1945, we left Debert by train for Halifax about 80 miles away. On arrival at Halifax, we embarked on the luxury liner ‘Queen Elizabeth’. I think, at this time, there were about 300 of us ex-POWs left.
Late in the day, we finally set off for the last stage in our journey to England. Although the ‘Queen Elizabeth’ had numerous decks, we all could be accommodated on 'A' Deck.
