Description

Moore Park, Sydney, NSW. 1917-05. Elevated view of the private parade ground of the Wireless Training School at the Engineer Depot. Note the morse flags being carried by a number of the trainees for signalling practice and their long dungarees under which uniforms were often worn. Members of the 1st Wireless Signal Squadron, Mesopotamian Expeditionary Force, were amongst the thousands of officers and troops who learnt both practical and theoretical signal work at the School during its two years of war-time existence.
