Description

A group of unidentified sailors, Australians and New Zealanders, making jam tin bombs near the beach at what was popularly known as the bomb factory. All the old jam tins and other used containers are used to make bombs which are filled with fragments of Turkish shells and enemy barbed wire which has been cut into small lengths.
