Who Are They?

Who Are They?
These photographs were taken on board the Asturias in November 1948, by Pat Piggott. His wife Irene (Rene) and son Michael are pictured with other passengers. If you can identify them, please let us know.

Hedy De Bats, who lives in the Netherlands, has sent a collection of photographs taken by her father who was a passenger on the ship in 1949.  He served in Indonesia as an army officer and travelled home on the Asturias to the Netherlands where he still lives.

Amongst the memorabilia he has kept is a photo album, a passenger list and menus.
