Finchhaffen Camp in Mud

Military camps

"Muddy path to the mess hall - Finschhafen" From "Darkroom Soldier": "Muck and the Mess Hall. Communications and Photo Section men lived furthest from the mess hall. To eat regular meals, soldiers had to negotiate six inches of slippery and sticky monsoon mud. More than once, Hill and his friends skipped meals rather than spend hours cleaning shoes or track mud all over the photo lab floors." ("Darkroom Soldier" caption authored by George Venn)
