Sgt Bob Collins commanding Catafalque party consisting of Cpl Dick Hart, PNGVR, a Policeman, a Warder and
an Army Cadet. There was great co-operation between the four services in Goroka.
Note that SLR rifle barrel is resting on the ground. Normally it rests on the boot, however, the Warder was only issued with sandals, so the rifles were rested on the ground.
