Description
An unidentified lieutenant general (front, left) visits patients in a military hospital, probably in Japan. Escorting him is an officer, possibly with the Royal Australian Army Medical Corps (RAAMC) and the British Commonwealth Occupation Force (BCOF). The medical officer is carrying three clipboards of patients charts. The patients are dressed in their pyjamas and lying in their hospital beds. Items on the beside tables include water bottles, ashtrays and a small Australian Comforts Fund boxes bearing the letters 'ACF'. Note the lieutenant general is wearing ribbon bars which indicate he has seen First World War and Second World War service, and has received the Military Cross.
