Three staff members of the hospital ship Oranje on the snowfields. The Oranje had transported sick and wounded Australian and New Zealand troops back from the Middle East. In appreciation of their good work the New Zealand Government gave the ship's staff a three day trip to the Chateau Tongariro in the snow country, providing transport, accommodation, meals, and snow and sporting equipment. On the right, holding skis, is Staff Nurse Margaret Lamont Adams. Staff Nurse Adams was one of 268 people who lost their lives when the hospital ship Centaur sunk after it was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine off the Queensland coast on 14 May 1943.
