Members of the Imperial Japanese Naval Squadron visited Australia in January 1924 as part of a training cruise. The squadron consisted of the IWATE, ASAMA and YAKUMO. Nearly 2,500 men of which 300 were midshipmen spent time in Sydney, Melbourne, Hobart, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth during their tour. An unidentified Japanese officer is shown here at Victoria Barracks in Paddington, Sydney with two women during a tennis party. The event was held on the morning of 26 January for the foreign visitors which included Admiral Saito.
