A corner of a Mechanical store at the Australian Ordnance Corps Depot. Fittings left behind by the Germans were used to advantage. The oil strewn in this corner of the store is of various kinds, and large demands were at this time put forward by the Units drawing on Australian Ordnance Corps Troops. The oil in the black five gallon drums on the right of the storeman in charge, Private (Pte) W. Attneave, is for filling the hydraulic buffers of guns and Howitzers. In front of Pte Attneave is some lubricating oil, used chiefly for rifles and machine guns. In the extreme foreground is a heap of cotton waste. On the extreme left are four sacks of nosebags, and next to these, three bales of sponge cloths (or sweatrags as they are commonly called). The daylight is admitted into this store by reason of the back wall being utterly demolished, which was the fate of the whole rear half of the huge barracks. Note the construction (or what had been the construction) of the roof of this store.
