Description:This photograph taken in the early 1980's by Jake Whitehouse is in the area that is now known as Tackeroo Camp Site. During the Great War this concrete base was the floor of the Army Service Corps Ordnance Depot. The Depot would have been the heartbeat of the Camp as all supplies were delivered here by the military railway and redistributed to the Battalion Lines by vehicles or mule and cart. Besides the main building there were warehouses and storerooms containing meat, flour and oats. Field ovens, wood stacks and coal store would have been outside.
