Printed caption on reverse, written by veteran: 'A winter's day at Andrews Field, 1944. Typical Nissen hutted domestic site with adaptation of the same basic structure. The hut with side windows on extreme left is the site administration office. Beyond is a windowless store and behind that similar sized 16 ft by 36ft barrack hut with end windows. There is a line of these barracks on the right, fronted by the occupant's bicycles. Each hut 'slept' 8 Officers. Credit Eugene Allen.' Handwritten caption on reverse: '322.'
