Description
Vice Admiral Sir Guy Russell, Commander in Chief Far Eastern Station, inspects HMS Glory and its crew in Kure harbour. He is being escorted by unidentified officers of HMS Glory as he makes his way along lines of seamen and non commissioned officers (NCOs) standing on the deck of the ship. With the departure of HMS Glory from Far East waters, HMAS Sydney will have the honour of carrying Vice Admiral Sir Guy Russell's flag. The White Ensign flag is flying at the stern of the ship. In the background and foreground are Fairey Firefly aircraft, some with wings folded. On the port side of the ship seamen are attending to tasks.
