Members of the Royal Australian Engineers and Royal Australian Artillery, Darwin Detachment, standing on the roof trusses of a barracks block in the process of dismantling it. One officer and six engineers of the Darwin Detachment had landed ex HMAS Albatross on 27 August 1932 to assist one officer and eleven men of the 9 Heavy Battery RAA who were at the time garrisoning Green Hill Fort. Although it was intended the buildings would be re-erected in Darwin, the scheme was only partially implemented. None of the six inch guns from the Fort were sent to Darwin as they were plugged and left in position. (See also P02024.002).
