Description
Japanese workers on a supply ship at Kure wharf are loading boxes of supplies, probably for use in the Korean War. A crane is being used to shift the heavy boxes. An unidentified Australian Army serviceman (front, left) is standing on the deck of the ship next to the ship's hold. A Japanese crew member (front, right), makes hand signals to direct the movement of the heavy load by the crane operators.
