Description

Yokohama, Honshu, Japan, 1948-04-07. At a funeral for an Australian soldier at the Yokohama Military Cemetery, an Australian Army chaplain (right) leads the funeral procession along a dirt road towards the grave. Following the padre, a group of Australian soldiers acting as pallbearers (left) carries the coffin which is draped in a Union Jack flag. The tall soldier walking directly behind the coffin is 3/86 Lieutenant Colonel Fergus MacAdie, the Commanding Officer (CO) of the 67th Infantry Battalion serving with BCOF. Partly visible at left is the military truck that served as the hearse. The dead soldier's name may have been Bissaker. (Donor I. Robertson)
