"I believe that this image shows the segregation Camp for Trentham. I am sure that due to the lack of buildings it is between Jan and June 1915. It was used to isolate those with diseases such as measles. The Relief Camp was in the vicinity of the main CIT complex and old MT Workshops as was an overflow facility.

Details

DescriptionSegregation Camp to the south of the Main Camp with the Relief Camp in the distance to the left (south). Early 1915. There are 24 rows of tents with, for the most part, 8 tents in each row, making somewhere around 190 tents in total. The Ministry of Works began building permanent huts huts in March 1915 so this photograph would appear to have been taken before then.
