Description
An unidentified chaplain leads the procession at the funeral of an unidentified Australian serviceman at the British Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery, Yokohama, Japan. Pallbearers have lifted the coffin from a gun carriage and are preparing to carry it through the cemetery. The coffin has been draped with the Australian flag. British Commonwealth officers and servicemen, carrying large wreaths, are waiting in the background. Members of the Durham Light Infantry honour guard are standing at attention at the entry to the cemetery. The funeral is probably that of either 2400748 Private E D Crawley (died 6 March 1953); or 22737 Temporary Corporal K J Hutchinson (died 14 April 1953); or QX25532 Sergeant A B Masterton (died 3 April 1953).
