Love is a many splendoured thing

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1950

I have my mothers passport which I travelled on as a child.  It shows a disembarkation stamp for Singapore dated 22 December 1949.  On the back of the picture is written "SS Canton Jan 1950".  In the picture I am sitting in a bath with my arm in plaster.  I believe we left HK for UK on or about 16 December 1949.  The arm was broken in a fall into a storm nullah above Caine Road Police Flats 3 days before my family was due to sail to UK.
