Description
Japanese wharf labourers work on loading a military truck onto the deck of the US troopship Aiken Victory, docked at Kure harbour. One labourer on the deck of the ship is using hand signals to direct the crane operations. A 17-pounder anti-tank gun is on the wharf, ready to be transfered to the ship. Along with the 3RAR troops, the weapons and vehicles are to be transported to Pusan and the war in Korea.
