The hospital ward at Japanese camp Lampersari

This photo was probably taken in September 1945 during the visit of Lady Mountbatten.
According to my family the woman in the middle could be my grandmother but they've changed their mind these days and think it is someone else.
I told her story here; family photo in the Dutch Indies.

I would love to find out more about this photo, can you tell me more about it?
Who are these women, are there more photos from Lady Mountbatten's visit, is there more information about this camp and hospital ward?
Or were you or someone in your family perhaps in this camp?

I never knew my grandmother but im pretty sure I would have loved her, she was the kind of woman I would have admired.
I have always been interested in the history of World War two and now I would like to find out a bit more about all the things that happened to my family in the Dutch Indies.
Any help is welcome.
