In
late August, 1945, members of 2nd Australian POW Reception Group, 2/14
AGH, and
other troops, travelled to Singapore aboard Duntroon to establish
reception camps for released Australian Prisoners of War.
Duntroon departed Sydney on
27/8/1945, called at Darwin on 4/9/1945 and arrived in Singapore on
13/9/1945. She was accompanied by Arawa and HMAS
Hawkesbury.
At Singapore, the troops disembarked and Duntroon
was then loaded with ex-Prisoners of War. She
left Singapore, with Arawa, on 20/9/1945 bound for Darwin, and then proceeded to
Brisbane, where the men were held on board for a couple of weeks to
recuperate.
Duntroon then sailed south to Sydney,
where she arrived on 7/10/45.
