Description

Looking down General Blamey Drive from 'Sanananda Corner' at the New Guinea Force Headquarters in Lae, New Guinea. The four messes on the left are 'Princes' (Officers'), 'Zeigfields' and 'Christies' (Sergeants'), and 'Adams' (Other Ranks). 'Birtley Towers', a construction supporting three water tanks into which water is pumped from a nearby stream, can be seen in the near background.
