Yeah, so it was a shared compound. It was an old university sort of set up, three-tiered for all the ORs, us soldiers. Pretty rudimentary. We had double bunks, springs. No mattresses, we just put cardboard on there. We didn't get mattress for about 3-4 months into it so we just slept on cardboard on these spring mattresses. Generally, there was about 18 to a bit of a dorm, or a corridor. So three towers, all the soldiers slept in there.
The officers had their single accommodation with the ladies. There was about probably 28-30 women on the deployment, mainly nurses, medical staff, et cetera, dental side of the house. And myself, the infantry company, and all the other guys slept in these multi-tiered things. So literally part of their old university that we took over, and fortified, and put wire up, and sandbagged, and we made it the compound. It was right next door to the RPF compound too, which is the Rwandan Tutsi.
