The Brigadier's abode had a fireplace in it.

One of the dugouts was used as a morgue, in which bodies were kept till they could be buried.

A man told me that one night when he had come down from the line very late, he found a dugout full of men wrapped in their blankets, every one apparently asleep.
Without more ado, he crawled in amongst them and slept soundly till morning.

When he awoke, he found to his horror that he had slept all night among the dead men in the morgue.

There was a cemetery at Railway Dugouts, which was carefully laid out.
