Title: USS SANCTUARY (AH-17)
Caption: Fantail where cots that had been obtained from the fleet were set up after every bunk and every ward was filled with happy British, Australian, and Japanese ex-prisoners. The cots seemed like a bit of heaven after three and a half years in a Japanese prison camp, September 1945.
