Sydney, NSW. C. 1943-05. A member of the US Navy and his Australian woman companion pose for the while-you-wait photographer in Hyde Park with St Mary's Cathedral in the background. Other American servicemen wait nearby, one of whom also has a camera. Ten warships of the US Task Force 338, including USS Shangri-la and USS Antietan, had put into Sydney for a ten day goodwill visit.
