Leaving Europe and the war behind. Two members of the Australian Red Cross wave from the dock as the troopship Orion departs for Australia from Liverpool in August 1945. On board was the largest RAAF repatriation draft to leave Britain since the end of the war, including some 600 former POWs, the last large group of ex-prisoners to leave England. [AWM UK3137]
