Gate of Tears
Description
Falmouth Echo - 'Falmouth artist Mrs Bronwyn Huguet and her five-year- old son, Tristan, embark on the S.S. Rarotonga this Friday from Liverpool. Mrs Huguet will be rejoining her Australian husband, Mr Robert Huguet who, as readers will remember, was awarded the Lloyd's Medal for Bravery on our Arctic convoys.
His six years as a Marine Engineer is another reminder, if one be needed, of the gallant men of the Empire who stood by Great Britain at the time of her greatest peril.
This newspaper salutes the Huguet family as they commence family life anew in Sydney, Australia.'
The caption included a posed photograph of a pretty young woman, with a playful smile and thoughtful eyes. Her hair was styled in the 'Victory' cut. Beside her stood a serious little boy with a broad sweep of blond hair across his forehead. He was holding a toy ship.
In a corner of the photo was a striking inset of a Merchant Navy officer in dress uniform with a bar of medal ribbons.
