Description
The funeral procession for VX112288 Major (Maj) J R Fitzgerald from the British Commonwealth Occupation Force (BCOF) Headquarters, slowly makes its way down a Kure street. A group of Australian officers, including representatives from the Army, RAN and RAAF, marches behind an official staff car. They have just passed an honour guard of Australian Army servicemen standing in front of a colonnaded building. The funeral service took place in the Sacred Heart Chapel, and was attended by a large congregation of mourners.
