Hammock : Private D J Hannaford, 3 Battalion Royal Australian Regiment

Dark green hammock made from a ground sheet. At each short end, the edges have been folded over to allow for rope to be threaded through. The ends have been sewn with two rows of machine stitching. In some areas the stitching has come undone and has been repaired with hand stitching in black and khaki green thread. The sewn ends have been lightly gathered.
