Description

Funeral of an Australian soldier at the British Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery, Yokohama, Japan. The coffin, draped in the Australian flag, is being carried by pallbearers into the cemetery, past an honour guard of Royal Australian Regiment soldiers. The chaplain and a British Commonwealth officer are preceding the coffin, while behind the coffin officers and soldiers are carrying wreaths of flowers. The members of the guard are standing at attention with heads bowed, their hands crossed over the butts of their rifles and the muzzles of their rifles resting on the toes of their boots. The funeral is probably that of either 2400748 Private E D Crawley (died 6 March 1953); or 22737 Temporary Corporal K J Hutchinson (died 14 April 1953); or QX25532 Sergeant A B Masterton (died 3 April 1953).
