Description
Japanese workers at Kure wharf are loading boxes of supplies 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 (front) is standing on the deck of the ship next to the ship's hold, while an Army truck laden with boxes is parked on the wharf, backed up to the ship's hold. Note the boxes are marked with Kure and crosses, indicating that they may contain medical supplies.
