An unidentified Australian Army Corporal (left) and another serviceman in overalls (right), supervise the loading of boxes of supplies onto a transport ship at Kure wharf. Wharf cranes are manoeuvring the heavy loads into the ship's hold. Printing on the sides of the boxes says '5 MINES CONTACT AT M V HC. AND COVERS FOR FUSES. TNT' indicating that they contain ammunition and are probably destined for the Korean War.
