Binmaley Camp, Quarters 4

"Binmaley (pronounced: Binmally). This is the home of Photo section men + Walt Peters - a medic. Rain water from one side of the tent kept the barrel full for showers!" From "Darkroom Soldier": "Camp at Binmaley. In a written memoir, Hill recalled his new quarters: 'On the central west coast of Luzon we built a splendid camp. The local Filipino craftsmen could build anything out of bamboo, and we each chipped in about $20 (six of us to a tent) to have a very comfortable tent frame and floor home constructed. By extending the side flaps and filling in the corners with issued ('shelter halves') we got a twenty-by-twenty foot domicile. From one side, the rain funneled into a fifty-five gallon drum on stilts, provided fresh water for a shower a day for each of us. For the most part, the same six men stayed together from camp to camp -- five photo lab men and a medic. When compatibility is found, it is well to maintain it, which we did."

"Sgt Bob Casey showing breech mechanism of Japanese coastal artillery gun. Abandoned on South coast of Biak" From "Darkroom Soldier": "Abandoned Artillery. On the south coast, Hill photographed his friend Sgt Bob Casey staring into the open breech of an eight-inch Japanese artillery piece mounted in a defensive position. This may be one of the 'large guns...awaiting emplacement on the Bosnek beaches, while others in the same area, including a second 6-inch coast defense gun, had been destroyed by Allied air and naval bombardment prior to the landings."
