Jenny's Side Party at Hong Kong, 1947 - NHSA.
5611. We have had quite a few photographs of Jenny's Side Party, the volunteer group of ship painters and cleaners in Hong Kong, but we're sure many Navy people will be interested to see this 1947 view. We think that's the group's leader, the indefatigable Mrs Ng Muk Kah - Jenny' -on the tiller, of course. Born on a junk in Causeway Bay in 1917, she would have been 30 years old in this photo.
A late 1950s photo of Jenny and her group on HMAS QUICKMATCH, with a further internal link in that entry, can be found here:
