Wooden beds line the edge of the room with a central table, eating dishes hang above it and a violin and papers on the table and music on an attached stand at the end. From the collection of 2247 Sergeant (Sgt) Stuart Alan Webb, 28th Battalion. Sgt Webb embarked with the 4th Reinforcements on 1 October 1915. He was wounded and captured on 16 November 1916 on the Somme and taken prisoner of war (POW).
