Information

The construction of Camp B, which was located on Lytton Rd, was initially contracted to PR Ayre and J Young. It appears US Army labour may also have been used on this camp site to build a headquarters building, infirmary, various supply huts, nine kitchens, messes and recreation rooms, 99 barracks buildings with bathhouses and latrines, and eight sets of Officers quarters.
