A RADIO, COFFEE AND BISCUITS EACH EVENING ARE AMONG THE SMALL, BUT NOT INCONSIDERABLE, COMFORTS DISPENSED. HERE, DON ELLIOTT, Y.M.C.A. REPRESENTATIVE (STANDING AND SHIRTLESS) IS SEEN ABOUT TO HAND OUT A BOOK, WHILE MEN OF 12 COMPANY, AUSTRALIAN ARMY SERVICE CORPS, LISTEN TO THE RADIO. ELLIOTT LIVES IN THE SMALL TENT COVERED BY THE CAMOUFLAGE NET.
