E05019 Accession Number: E05019

Description

A group of unidentified soldiers in the wood-working machine shop at the Australian Corps Technical School. The building was originally a glass factory and when the German forces evacuated only the walls were left in a sound state. However in a very short period, with the aid of 1,000 German prisoners, the building was repaired and provided excellent accommodation for the classes, and with the salvaged machinery made an up to date technical school.
