Hiro, Honshu, Japan, 1948-12-25. A group of Japanese children crowd around two soldiers and a jeep from the 67th Infantry Battalion, part of the Australian component of BCOF. The children have arrived at the Hiro military camp for a Christmas party that the battalion is holding for them. The girl at left is wearing a floral kimono, and she and her companions have wooden clogs on their feet. (Donor I. Robertson)
