Artist's caption: 'The latrines shown were pits. After some time in the camp, all the available ground had been used
for these pits, and it became necessary to open up the pits and bale out the excreta, which was carried a long distance from the camp. This
work was a "punishment job". (On a Jap Field Card)'.
