Wwwop
As someone who served in Ceylon (Sri Lanka) at Negombo (Katunayake) and China Bay in 1956 - 57, I'd love to hear more of how the place looked to you in WW2.
Meanwhile some WW2 photos of WAAFs in Ceylon to bring back memories.
All photos are from the IWM. Exact locations of first two photos not stated.
In the mess hall.
WAAF taking dictation
Ceylon-based WAAFs arriving in Singapore at the end of the war (wearing the dreaded forage cap - why I don't know as my sister who was a WAAF teleprinter operator during WW2 used to come home on leave wearing a peaked hat).
Finally Admiral Somerville inspects a very smart turn-out of WRENs in Colombo. Their white outfit puts the RAF/WAAF kharki uniform to shame I think!
As mentioned above all are IWM photos.
