Description

Berrimah, NT. February 1942. Nurses check on their patients in a busy ward of No. 119 Australian General Hospital (AGH). Note the tin hat hanging off the side of the bed in the foreground probably indicating this ward is full of patients injured in the first Darwin air raids. Mosquito nets are twisted up over each bed.
