This commemorative exhibition is drawn from original artwork, photographs and archive material from the P&O Heritage Collection, which is today proudly preserved by DP World.
The exhibition has been written and researched by Susie Cox and designed and produced by Beth Ellis. We are most grateful to Gillian Mallett for permission to use her mother's recollections and photographs of her time on board the Hospital Ship EGYPT.
