Camp Collinson Cave.

Camp Collinson Cave.

For a year or two in the very early 1950s, the 367 Signals Unit was billeted at the old, pre-war Camp Collinson.  That was originally the living accommodation for the Army personnel manning the Cape Collinson guns.  The Japanese troops must have also used these caves. Some airmen lived in caves cut into the hillside, which would have been fairly cool in the Summer, while others were in Nissen huts in the upper part of the camp.  Some of the latter might pre-date 1941.
