Summary: Kure, Japan, 1950-09-27. A 6x6 truck pulling a 17-pounder anti-tank gun waits on Kure docks to be hoisted aboard the United States Navy troopship Aiken Victory (not in view). The truck and artillery piece belong to the 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), which is about to depart on the vessel for Pusan and the war in Korea. Awaiting their turn to be loaded aboard the ship are another 17-pounder gun (left) and a number of jeeps and trucks. The buildings (left to right) at rear comprise: the transport shed for the 21st Advanced Ordnance Depot; the traffic shed for the BCOF Base Ordnance Depot (formerly for the 21st Advanced Ordnance Depot); the offices and stores of the Docks Operating Company, and also the BCOF Stationery Stores. Rising in the background is a terraced hill near the village of Miya Hara. (Donor I. Robertson)
