A photograph of a group of people on a stage, some in costume, possibly in rehearsal for a performance. The photo is labeled "RMS QUEEN ELIZABETH, Singapore, 1942." In early 1942, the QUEEN ELIZABETH was in Singapore being refitted as a troopship. On February 11, it left Singapore for additional refitting elsewhere and then to begin its wartime service transporting Australian and, later, U.S. troops.
