Description

Sergeant Hastings Frederickson of the 1st Joint Support Unit shaves at the original shower block at Camp RAMSI. Camp RAMSI, located near Honiara, capital of the Solomon Islands, was the military and police headquarters of the Regional Assistance Mission to the Solomon Islands (RAMSI). Australia's contribution was known as Operation Anode. At the time the photograph was taken, a newer shower block had been constructed, but the old one remained popular because of its prime location with 'million-dollar views' of the beach and the sea.
