Description

This photograph depicts two unidentified nurses on board TSS ORANJE II. On 28 June 1941, after a refitting at Cockatoo dock, Australia's Prime Minister Robert Menzies hoisted a Red Cross flag on the Dutch liner TSS ORANJE. The ceremony marked the handing over of the vessel from the Dutch Netherlands Indies Government to the Australian and New Zealand Governments to be used as a hospital ship.
