Description
Group portrait of Australian wives and babies of American soldiers leaving an Australian port for the United States. More than 10,000 marriages and 2,000 engagements between Australian girls and US servicemen occurred in Australia during a period of two and a half years. Some of the war brides have already reached America (probably taken in Melbourne).
