Description
At Kure docks, military vehicles and armaments including trucks and 17-pounder anti-tank guns, are lined up awaiting their turn to be loaded aboard the United States Navy troopship Aiken Victory. At the rear is the dock's crane, used for transferring the heavy vehicles and weapons from the wharf to the deck of the ship. The building in the background contains the offices and stores of the Docks Operating Company. Along with the 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR) troops, the weapons and vehicles are to be transported to Pusan and the war in Korea.
