[The name of the Complainant has been changed in order to comply with the provisions of the Evidence Act SA] January 1949 to March 1951
I was shipped from England on the S S Ormonde with a group of 28 British ‘orphan’ girls, arriving on January 19 1949, at Goodwood Orphanage. I was 15yrs old. We were told that we would have a better life and we would be cared for in a loving and understanding way with regard to our well-being in a strange country. Nothing could have been further from the truth.
On the day we arrived we were lined up and the considerable amount of money collected by the crew of the S S Ormonde and given to us was taken from us. We never saw that money again.
