Cowra Military Camp - A Second World War mahogany 3 seat folding campaign bench. Stamped to the back of the middle seat "COWRA MILITARY CAMP" followed by very faint wording.

Cowra is a small town in New South Wales, Australia. During WW2 the town was home to a military training camp that trained around 80,000 Australian troops between 1940-45. The town was also made famous by the nearby Prisoner of War camp, of the same name. Which saw one of the bloodiest escape attempts in the war when 1,104 Japanese prisoners of war attempted to escape on the 5th of August 1944.
