Description: | OLD soldier David Rawsley wanted to know the name of the lady who greeted arriving troop ships to South Africa with a song during the Second World War.
Several readers responded, among them Reg Stone of Skelmanthorpe, who heard the famous Lady In White singing when the ship carrying him on his way to the Far East docked in Durban in 1943. She was Perla Siedle Gibson.
Reg went to South Africa on holiday in 1984 and revisited the site at the end of the jetty where she delivered moving renditions of stirring songs to both arriving and departing vessels.
