Collection relating to Albert Bissett Amess
Huts and tents of the Officers' Training School, Royal Military College (RMC), Duntroon. Standing under the tree in the midground (left) is a shed, next to which are several dixies or cauldrons full of boiling water. The water may be being used to wash laundry. A tap for a reticulated water supply stands in the open near the shed, while standing at extreme left is a structure that may be a washing trough. The building behind this structure is the post and telegraph office. At centre, the buildings to the rear of the shed include barracks for the officer trainees or cadets. The large tent (right) is the Quartermaster's Store, and the smaller tent behind it is the hospital. The area of land (left) in front of the post office and barracks is the parade ground.
