A Welcome For One of Her Sixteen Children - As Prisoners Of War Return -- There was a great welcome waiting for Pte Kenneth Williams of the Leicester Regiment, whose home is at Ross-on-Wye. Here he has a very special hug for his mother, aged 67. She is the mother of 16 children. There was a great welcome home to happiness and freedom for the 530 ex-prisoners from Korea when they landed at Southampton to-day (Wednesday) from the troopship Asturias. Some 4,000 wives, parents and other relatives had waited at Southampton all night to greet their loves ones. September 16, 1953. (Photo by Reuterphoto).
