Description

Australian Army soldiers, of the British Commonwealth Occupation Force (BCOF), have been participating in the BCOF elimination shoot. The winner, Driver C R Essex of South Grafton, NSW (left), will have the honour of representing the Force in the King's Medal competition of the Australian Army, to be held in NSW next month. Here he talks with two other competitors, probably Lieutenant Colonel (Lt Col) R H Marson, commander of the Force's Tokyo area (centre), and an unidentified soldier (right).
