With their rifles pointing downwards, members of the 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), slow march along a road in Kure during the funeral procession for VX700023 Lieutenant K.R. Roberts, BCOF Signals Regiment. Following them, with its drums draped in black, is the battalion band. The roof of the army truck that is serving as the hearse is visible behind the band. Lining each side of the road as a mark of respect, other members of 3RAR stand at attention as the procession passes. Lt Roberts's body is being conveyed to the Kure railway station for transportation to the Yokohama Military Cemetery, where he will be buried. (Compare image 146475)
