Description
A chaplain conducts a funeral service for an unidentified Australian serviceman at the British Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery, Yokohama, Japan. The Australian pallbearers are removing the Australian flag from the coffin before it is lowered into the grave. British Commonwealth officers and servicemen wait at the right with large wreaths and bouquets of flowers. The cross at the left of the burial indicates the grave of 2400748 Private E D Crawley (died 6 March 1953). The funeral is probably that of 22737 Temporary Corporal K J Hutchinson (died 14 April 1953); or QX25532 Sergeant A B Masterton (died 3 April 1953).
