Nissen Huts

Hmm.. The old Quonset huts or Nissen huts next to the bungalows in the NUS compound next to the Botanic Gardens have been torn down. Not much of a loss but Nissen huts did represent a certain past era. I think these should Nissen huts rather than Quonset huts, then again, they could be Quonset huts as many were distributed throughout the world after the war as surplus. As it is, there are still some corrugated steel structures left in Harding Road and Dempsey Road area. I think there are some left in some of the older army barracks in Singapore.
