This is inside the senior rates mess on the starboard side of 2 deck between 16 and 21½ stations at the forward inboard end looking aft towards the gun bay bulkhead. Clothing, a holdall, a coffee table and two kegs of beer are on the bottom bunk. coats are hanging up on the left and kit lockers are on the aft bulkhead. A hand written list with the negative originally identified this as 'Senior ratings kit locker space from door to port' but then amended the description to 'Senior ratings mess.'
