SAS sleeping quarters, Bagram airbase, Afghanistan

Showing the interior of the SAS sleeping quarters at the Bagram airbase in Afghanistan. Peter Churcher recalled, "The SAS soldiers lived in one of the partly ruined buildings within the Australian compound, known as the "Ranch". I was taken by the crowded and crammed feeling of the sleeping quarters that these men had been living in for the last six months. Whilst I was painting the work some of the men from Squadron 3 were packing and preparing to return home in the next few days. As the space was made vacant by one of those departing, it was quickly filled by a new incoming soldier from the next Squadron posted in Bagram for the next six months. I liked the way the personal effects of the soldiers were casually strewn together with their instruments of war".
