Empire and Jungle Pool

Empire Pool

I recently received from one of the lads (Don Lowe) that features in some of my photos, some pictures of the 2 pools that were used by the lads from 2 Inf Wksp - The Empire Pool which was only accessible from the road up Maxwell Hill & which we believe was fed by the waterfall just above it & the Jungle Pool, lower down, just above the camp that was easily accessed from the perimeter fence. I reckon the Empire Pool is the same as Mr. Gardiner's Garrison Pool.

Don, who was a National Service soldier ( ie Conscripted) and I were able to make contact with each other only a year or so ago after we had both submitted some photos to the Malay & Borneo Veterans website.

I am enclosing these photos as they offer an insight into one of the ways we had to relax after a days work.

Trust you are keeping well.
