Description
Lieutenant General (Lt Gen) Sydney F Rowell, the Chief of the General Staff, Australian Army (third from left), inspects a radio station at a base of the British Commonwealth Forces Korea (BCFK), probably at Kure, Japan. He is speaking with an unidentified sergeant from the Royal Australian Army Services Corps who is working with the record collection. Lt Gen Rowell is being accompanied by an Australian Army warrant officer (second from left), while another soldier stands at the far left. Note the many albums stored in shelves against the wall. Some have been sorted into shelves labelled with the days of the week ready to be broadcast to the servicemen in the base. Lt Gen Rowell is touring Japan and Korea, and is meeting with military leaders to discuss Australia's participation in the Korean War.
