Description

Warrant Officer Class 2 (WO2) Frank Fisher, wearing a raincoat, arrives by car for an Armistice Reunion Dinner for BCOF 1914-1918 Personnel, held in Kure Japan. WO2 Fisher and other First World War veterans who were members of the British Commonwealth Occupation Force (BCOF) had attended a remembrance day service earlier in the day. The reunion included Lieutenant General (Lt Gen) H C H Robertson, Commander in Chief BCOF. The ribbon of the 1914-1915 star is just visible on WO2 Fisher's jacket, indicating he probably served at Anzac Cove, Gallipoli.
