Description

The Armament Section of 77 Squadron RAAF. It consists of a canvas tent with a crude drain dug outside. A rocket, probably a five-inch HVAR projectile, leans against the side and a linked belt of 0.50 inch ammunition cartridges is draped over a wooden sign denoting the 'business' of the occupants. Many airstrips were used on a temporary basis and living and working conditions were continually adapted in this harsh environment with its extreme climatic conditions.
