Yokohama, Honshu, Japan, 1948-04-07. At a funeral for an Australian soldier at the British Commonwealth War Cemetery, a funeral procession consisting of Australian soldiers serving with BCOF and a military truck serving as the hearse makes its way along a dirt road towards the grave. The hearse is carrying a coffin which is draped in a Union Jack flag. On either side of the road, soldiers making up a funeral party stand to attention with their heads bowed and the muzzles of the rifles resting on the toes of their boots as the procession passes. The tall soldier walking directly behind the hearse is 3/86 Lieutenant Colonel Fergus MacAdie, the Commanding Officer (CO) of the 67th Infantry Battalion serving with BCOF, while the soldier to his left is Lieutenant Patrick Joseph Slattery. The dead soldier's name may have been Bissaker. (Donor I. Robertson)
