Officers Mess 1915, initially, the Officers lived down in the Hotels and pubs of Upavon. Which they said they enjoyed. This is a very grand building and very well made.

Certainly I can see the Padre on the front row to the right. A lot of walking sticks, a bit of an RFC thing I think. Rear row a few young officers in Maternity jackets. A few soft RFC caps and maybe some early RAF blue, maybe? Also it was winter with snow on the ground.
Winter 1919?

Sergeants Mess, although I think it may have been the institute as it has a clock tower and Netheravon also has a clock tower.

This is interesting, the right hand side, the Post Office is WW1, the left side is WW2 TB (Temporary Brick) construction.

That finishes WW1, there are more buildings of WW1 around, but its a working camp and I did not take that many photos.
