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.'
