This looks rather more squalid than an army/RAF camp. Internment camp?

Don't you believe it, there were far worse places, right up to the late 1950's,early 1960's. I joined the R.A.F. in 1958 and was billeted in crappy wooden huts that now would not be considered fit for livestock, let alone internees or convicts.
