trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/245844234 - this pic appeared in the Sydney Daily Telegraph on 12th February, 1926 (see pic lower lhs)...it was evidently taken in Sydney the previous day when officers from the NSW Staff Corps entertained officers from the visiting Japanese cruiser HIJMS Iwate at a tennis party held at Victoria Barracks. trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/245844037 - the Daily Telegraph's report... Per the Daily Telegraph, the Japanese officers present included Lieutenant Commander K. Nakae, Lieutenant T. Hadaka, Lieutenant Shigenaga, Sub-Lieutenant I. Ikegami and Sub- Lieutenant N. Kimura. The commander of HIJMS Iwate was evidently Captain Yedahara...it's unclear whether he attended the Victoria Barracks tennis party. Per the Daily Telegraph the local tennis players included 'Mrs. Noel Cox Taylor, Miss Cox Taylor, the Misses Dorothy and Olga Bruche (twins), Miss Kidstone, Mr and Miss Harper, Mrs. Solby, Mrs. Bevis.' These NLA Fairfax pics were also taken on this occasion: trove.nla.gov.au/work/185779837 trove.nla.gov.au/work/185779838 trove.nla.gov.au/work/185779833 HIJMS Iwate visited Sydney on several occasions...January 1924, February 1926 and May 1932.

The ship was built in 1922 and was 4086 grt. Owned by the Thompson Steam Shipping Co and sunk 1 April 1942 by U 160 in the North Atlantic. The ship was unusual, having corrugated sides but these are not apparent in the photo.
