Description

An unidentified army captain and his bride leaving their wedding ceremony at a chapel in Japan. They are hurrying down the steps of the chapel, and ducking as other army officers and a civilian man throw confetti at them. The officer second from the right, is a member of the Australian Army. Note the captain is wearing glasses, Second World War service medals and a ceremonial sword. The bride is wearing a patterned satin wedding dress with a veil, and carrying a bouquet of flowers. The officers are probably from the British Commonwealth Forces Korea (BCFK) based in Japan.
