Description

Okayama, Honshu, Japan, 1948-04-25. An Australian Army Chaplain, Padre W.D. McAlister, reads the lesson during the Anzac Day parade at Okayama barracks. Draped in a Union Jack and with floral wreaths laid on them, a set of drums belonging to the battalion's band rests on the ground behind him. At left is a simple war memorial and around it, with their heads bowed and the muzzles of their rifles resting on the toes of their boots, stand three Australian soldiers, members of the 67th Infantry Battalion serving with BCOF. An Australian flag hangs at half-mast from a flagpole (left), while at right two officers stand and read the lesson. (Donor I. Robertson)
