Description
General (Gen) Mark W Clark, Commander in Chief, United Nations (UN) Forces in Korea stands in the centre of an interior doorway, and cuts a ribbon to officially open a building, probably in Japan. An unidentified soldier (possibly Canadian) stands at the left, while a Canadian staff brigadier stands watching at the right. Another soldier is crouching at the left and holding up a microphone while Gen Clark speaks. Note the map of Canada on the wall to the left of the doorway.
