    A fire destroyed most of the 721 R.O.B. Camp a few months before the author's arrival, burning thatched-roof buildings and bamboo structures. When rebuilding, the camp replaced the living quarters with safer British-style double-roof army tents that housed four men each, while reconstructing other facilities like the mess hall, showers, and latrines using the original materials. The author lived in one of these tents for over a year at the camp.

    British-style tents at 721 R.O.B.

    Camp

    A few months before I came to the 721 R.O.B. Camp, a disastrous wind-driven fire almost totally destroyed the camp. It raced through the buildings and bashas which had thatched roofs and walls of bamboo with a hard surface of clay, lime, cement or stucco. The men who were living there lost everything except what they were wearing. When they rebuilt the camp, the mess hall, shower and latrine, company headquarters and recreation hall were constructed in the materials mentioned before. However, the living quarters were replaced with the safer British type double-roof army tents that accommodated four men. I lived in one of those for over a year.
