Description

On board HMAS Norman with the British Pacific Fleet. With plenty of time to spare, the boys make full use of the library. Like all other things on board a destroyer, it must be small owing to lack of space. This disadvantage is overcome by ships exchanging libraries every time they meet at sea. Nearest to camera is Leading Steward Jack Bailey of Melbourne, Vic, Leading Seaman Neil Nicklason of Pyengana, Tas (centre), and the librarian Ordinance Artificer Bill Currie of Melbourne, Vic.
