Description

Lieutenant General (Lt Gen) Sydney F Rowell, the Chief of the General Staff, Australian Army (front, second from right), inspects a radio station at a base of the British Commonwealth Forces Korea (BCFK) in Japan. Lt Gen Rowell is being accompanied by an Australian Army warrant officer (right), while a group of officers watch from the back of the room. A record is playing on the turntable, and a set of papers sits on the counter below the microphone. The radio station probably broadcasts music and announcements to the servicemen at 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.
