HM Transport EMPRESS OF AUSTRALIA, the first transport to arrive in Hong Kong after the re-occupation steaming into Victoria Harbour with 3000 RAF personnel who will take up duties in the Crown Colony.

Barbara Anslow mentions the ship arriving on 4th Sep 1945, so that's the date I've set for the photo.

Thanks to Moddsey for locating the photo.
