Description
Japanese workers at Kure wharf are loading boxes of supplies from the back of Army trucks onto pallets. They are then loaded onto a supply ship, probably for use in the Korean War. A crane is being used to shift the heavy supplies. An unidentified Australian Army serviceman (right), carrying a rifle, stands guard next to trucks. Note the boxes are marked with Kure and crosses, indicating that they may contain medical supplies.
