Description
An unidentified chaplain standing at the pulpit of a chapel in Japan, conducts a service for army officers and civilians, probably to commemorate Anzac Day on 25 April 1952. Australian and New Zealand flags have been placed around the walls of the church and a Union Jack can be seen in front of the altar. The officers are probably members of the British Commonwealth Occupation Force (BCOF) or the British Commonwealth Forces Korea (BCFK), and include members of Australian and New Zealand forces.
