Description
Interior of a Barracks Room for soldiers attending Officers' Training School, Royal Military College (RMC), Duntroon. Iron bedsteads stand in rows along the sides of the room while mounted above the beds are shelves on which the trainees' bags, hats, books, bottles and other items of personal equipment are neatly stored. Towels hang over the ends of the beds. Down the centre of the room stands a single line of fold-down desks hinged on either side of a central length of timber into which ashtrays or inkwells have been sunk. The room is currently occupied by the officer trainees or cadets of No. 3 Platoon. (Original print housed in AWM Archive Store)
