From the Crown Lane archive. I cannot identify the handwriting, but more of that later. And I do not know of any relatives who had any connection with Manilla. Top to bottom and left to right the comments read:
"Damaged Catholic church walled city - Manila" (sic)
"Ruins in walled city, Manila"
"Ruined church - Manila. Many of these buildings were unnecessarily destroyed by the Japs"
Presumably this damage was caused during the Manilla massacre of 1945 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manila_Massacre
The catholic church is San Augustin http://www.etravelpilipinas.com/tourism_news/manila-philippines-san-agustin-church-in-intramuros.htm
