Is a lookout post with a Vickers machine gun on top of a hill where we were on guard at nights, and we had to have our overcoats on as it got very cold, but as soon as the sun appeared, we soon took them off, as it got very very hot. Just down the hill and out of site is Mukarious Camp, and past the Camp was Mukarious Airfield. Shown is Frank's Bren Gun alongside the Vickers.

Is taken from another angle, in the distance is Mukariuos Airfield and just down the hill is Mukarious Camp. Shown is Frank's Bren Gun alongside a Vickers.

Is Mukarious Camp taken from top of hill where the lookoot post was,where the Vickers machine gun was, to the left the airfield.

Is taken a bit futher down from the lookout post, in background is airfield and to the left it looks like a Dakota airplane is parked.

A tent from Mukarious Camp with a lorry in back ground, it might be the lorry that fetched the water. I think the gap in wall is the main entrance in to Mukarious Camp, which leads out to airfield.

Tents on left were the stores, the water lorry can be seen again,up the hill to the left is where the outlook post was, where the Vickers machine gun was,.and down to the right, on left side, was the guard room, and straight down to the end of camp, there was a wall running parallel, which was the front of the camp, it also had the main entrance to the camp,and out to the airfield, where we also used to exit the camp when we went on night patrols. One night our radio did not work, is there anybody out there who wants to write a story about that ??

Is the tent where we, the 1st section 14th Platoon D Compagni, lived in.
