Religious activity
There was no visit of the padre yet, but as the men have applied for one, Padre McIvor will certainly come here very soon.
Recreation and exercise
Adequate. In Summer the men were swimming and now they play football. For this Winter the men will have a special barrack for recreation.
Mail
Fairly regular.
Welfare work
In order.
Complaints
Some of the sleeping rooms are still infested with bugs as the camp had been used before by Italian civilian workers. Orders were given to disinfect these quarters thoroughly.
General impression
This camp is a good camp and the spirit of the men and their discipline is excellent.
