Description

Tokyo, Japan, 1947-04-25. With the letters 'RP' on their armbands designating their role as Regimental Police, four Australian soldiers serving with BCOF stand in a row to bar unauthorised access to the Imperial Plaza during the monthly parade for the changing of the BCOF guard. Behind the soldiers, a small crowd of Japanese civilian spectators watches the parade.
