HOBJ2869 Accession Number: HOBJ2869

Description

An unidentified lieutenant general (third from left) inspects patients in a military hospital, probably in Japan. Escorting him are a lieutenant with a British Commonwealth Occupation Force (BCOF) shoulder patch (left), and a lieutenant with an Australian rising sun on his cap (second from left). They are probably members of the Royal Australian Army Medical Corps (RAAMC). Note the lieutenant general is wearing ribbon bars which indicate he has seen First World War and Second World War service, and has received the Military Cross. The patients are dressed in their pyjamas and dressing gowns and are standing beside their made beds.
