Interesting is the amount of China related participation in the event

This image is very similar to http://gwulo.com/atom/19005, likely to be taken a few moments earlier or later.

On both images the same person in uniform is shown, but here the name given is Cmdr. Peter MacRitchie of HMCS Prince Robert, where on "19005" its Lieutenant-Commander Fred Day.
