Some more random photos.


On the move, somewhere.








Turkish Prisoners.



Cheers, Willie.

Some camp photos.

This one has the printer's embossed logo on the bottom right. It's a bit hard to tell if it reads Damascus or something else.











Cheers, Willie.

This photo would most likely be an ASC dump.







Gas exercise.







I'd guess this is the end of a steeplechase.




Cheers, Willie.

Willie-or 'minaret chase' as the case may be...

Sightseeing in Ceylon.

The Australian Troopship, HMAT Kabinga, left from Sydney on September 12th., 1916 carrying Light Horse re-enforcements. It stopped at Adelaide and Ceylon on the way to Suez, arriving on October 24th..













Cheers, Willie.

These are fairly scratchy photos.

This first one shows some mounted troops with what looks like a burnt out B.E.2e near Jerusalem.






It's a bit hard to identify this nosed-over aircraft, but it's drawn quite a crowd.




Cheers, Willie.

These are terrific photos Willie!

Crashed plane may be an RE8 observation type.

These are terrific photos Willie!

Thanks Dave. Unfortunately there's quite a few in the collection that are of great subject matter, but poor quality due to over-exposure and bad development. It would be nice if some original negatives made it back here, but I've never seen any to date.

Thanks Lithgow, after looking at some photos online of RE8's, I'd say that's what it is.




Here's a photo of another BE2, no. 4312. It looks like a BE2c.




Cheers, Willie.

Some more camp photos.











Camped by a well. Looks like a gear driven water wheel of the type driven by horses or donkeys.




Cheers, Willie.
