Many Allied Prisoners of War were
recovered from POW camps in Japan and moved to Manila to await transport
back home. The Dutch Hospital Ship, Tjitjalengka and the New Zealand
Hospital Ship,
Maunganui, repatriated some of
them to New
Zealand in September and October, 1945.
Several members of the 2/30th were
among those on board Maunganui when she departed Manila
on 19/9/1945. The ship sailed to New Zealand where the men
destined for Australia were transhipped to Tjitjalengka
for the remainder of the journey home. They arrived in Sydney on
