Hi just received a 80 page document from Cunard Ship Line all about the
Queen Mary 2 and it does not mention any plaque regarding World War II war
brides in it. The book is very descriptive about everything on the ship
with beautiful pictures but again no mention of a plaque.

Unless of course I missed it which I don't think I did. You can get this
brochure from Cunard at no cost so if you are planning a cruise back to
England this is a possibility. It looks incredible.
