AKC

Posted by noelbynature

If you look closely, the two circles on the walls of this house at the Gillman Barracks contain the letters “AKC”. What do the letters stand for?

In it’s heydey, this building housed a cinema – that’s served the Armed Forces staff. Chun See remembers:

I believe besides this AKC Cinema in Gillman Barracks, as Gillman Camp was called in the pre-SAF days, there must be several others like it in the other British camps. I recall that there was one at Dover Road, near the junction with Clementi Road. It was called Kent Cinema. It was open to SAF personnel and I went there twice.

Find out what AKC stands for in Chun See’s post at Good Morning Yesterday.
