Lady Liberty Welcomes British War Brides
New York .... The Queen Mary, carrying 1,719 British war brides and their 615 children, steams majestically past the Statue of Liberty as she goes to her Hudson river pier. The famous Symbol of Freedon was a cheering sight to the British girls who had married U.S. soldiers overseas and were now coming to a new home.
