Mona Baptiste

Apologies, we got so carried away with the lovely new photo of Mona Baptiste that this morning’s post contained the wrong link for the separate website about her. This is the correct link: https://mona-baptiste.com/. 

Still, it gives an excuse to send you a cropped version of the photo with the full original (incorrect) caption – she was 22!

A passenger on the HMT Empire Windrush is 21-year-old Miss Mona Baptiste from Trinidad. She arrives to sing blue’s numbers on the radio and in night clubs. Tilbury, 22 June 1948
