One of nine images from a collection of 1276 photographs relating to the Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes (NaFI) and its predecessors, this image showcases the communal spirit and leisure activities that took place within the camp. The image primarily focuses on the canteen tent, where soldiers and personnel gather for a moment of relaxation. The tent is bustling with activity, with some individuals engaged in a friendly game of darts, while others are engrossed in a spirited table tennis match. The tent is a testament to the camaraderie and companionship that existed among the camp attendees. In the background, NaFI personnel tents can be seen, providing shelter and comfort for the soldiers during their stay at the camp.
