This is the story of my mother, ne Betty Bacchus, married name Elizabeth Henry.

During WW2 she was one of a group of fashion models who were taken in a convoy to South America - Buenos Aires, to put on a fashion show. She kept a scrap book of the trip and I will update this entry with a photo or two and more info, including names of others who went on the trip
