Waiting in Egypt

by Boudewyn van Oort

Our friends who had accompanied us from South Africa to the Indies in 1940, now recuperating at Ismailia (Egypt) and waiting for availability of shipping south.

First post war picture of Emmy Kerkhoven, recuperating in Ismailia. Egypt , on transit to South Africa. She and  her fellow travelers returned there in February on board the S.S. Felix Roussel, a French merchant ship that had sailed for the allies during the war.
