USNTC Bainbridge -- Second Regiment: Wash House.
April 1943.
A recruit's clothing was washed daily entirely by hand with soap and a brush. Interesting the wash tables in the photo are constructed of wood.
Wash houses were situated where ever convenient to construct and each one generally served 2 or 3 barracks. ▼
