Soldiers of the British Commonwealth Forces, Korea (BCFK), stand at ease at a parade at a dry, dusty parade, Anzac Park. Brigadier R H Batten, Commander of Administration BCFK, took the salute at the parade. A Centurion tank with a white protective cloth covering the end of the gun barrel, is parked at the right.This image is part of a collection of photographs taken in Japan between 1947 and 1952, relating to the service of VX150779 Captain (Capt) John Patrick (Jack) McMullan, of the BCOF Labour Unit in Japan. Capt McMullan's wife Cecilia (also known as Celia and Celie), and son Brian John, lived with him in Japan as BCOF dependants. Cecilia and Brian were the photographers for most of the photographs in the collection. Brian was nine years old when he arrived in Japan in 1947. The presence of families of servicemen of all ranks was a distinctive aspect of BCOF.
