family In The Wars

This Japanese Divider only, 6 inches high, was given to my Mum in November 1945, when my Dad arrived back from Singapore in the Hospital Ship Manunda, that was loaded with ex-POWs that had been incarcerated at Changi during World War II
He also gave her a pair of tiny royal blue embroidered shoes with tiny heels, a heavy brass Buddha, and a blue Japanese teaset. The divider is all that is left of these gifts
