Remains of war

As I travel about around southern Iraq I see lots of old tanks and other veichles left over from the wars.

Temporary Camp Wall

The temporary camp within the main camp is surrounded by T-wall, pre formed concrete blocks that slot together and are free standing although because of the shape they support each other by the way they slot together. Within this wall will be the accomodation, offices etc.

Guard towers

The guard towers are also taking shape, all four are at different stages of construction but as you can see in this photo, this one is not far off complete with the windows in place.

Walls nearly complete

The walls that surround the camp are nearly complete and the posts for the perimeter fence are in place with barbed wire being put in place on the top.

Temporary Camp

The temporary camp is slowly taking shape. The trailers that you can see in the photo with six doors are accommodation trailers, they are the ones that we will be living in when we move to site. Most of the workers sleep in tents and some have rooms which double as a bed room as well as their workspace.
