Hut, Pt Dixon, Malaya (March 1942) given to Lt J. Fitzgerald

Port Dixon, Malaya – March 1942

A typical Malay home built on stilts with thatched roof. The Malays’ generally were self sufficient growing vegetables, rice, cocout palms, fruit trees and of course fished. By doing so in their kampongs, (villages) they lived relatively comforable and at an easy pace.
