Description
A crowd of well-wishers on a wharf at Kure, Japan, are farewelling Australian servicemen and their families who are returning to Australia on a transport ship. Streamers are connecting the passengers on the ship with their friends on the wharf. The servicemen are probably members of the British Commonwealth Forces Korea (BCFK), based in Japan.
