Description
Unidentified members of the NO 14 Station of the Australian Wireless Squadron, equipment packed into Ford vans and ready to move to Central Kurdistan. The buildings were originally erected by the Germans for their own wireless station. During the latter part of 1919, this post proved to be exceedingly essential to the Allied forces. The vehicle on the far left has the serial number D(broad arrow)5157.
