-> This is not Yamada. The Australian War Memorial is wrong.
The AWM is not wrong. They state it is Brig Dyke. This is the ceremony with Lt. Gen. Kunitaro Yamada....note the present tense for Dyke (current picture) and the past tense for Yamada (historical context). (Dewobroto (talk) 05:50, 17 March 2010 (UTC))
