Description1 linoleum block of soldier saying goodbye to parents at Block 23, Mess Hall. Elderly mother in an apron hugs her son in uniform as the father puts his arms around them and grasps son's hand. "Block 23" sign appears in lower left corner. In the background, there are barracks on the left; on the right, a soldier stands in the back of a truck marked "WRA" saying goodbye to his family standing on the ground. Behind stands a mess hall. In the distance a watchtower with a soldier rises above the buildings.
