Hi


Does anyone know where the 1st Anzac Training School was?

I have just found out that my Gt Uncle was there from 7/5/1917 to 25/5/1917.

Or can anyone point me in the right direction as to where I might get the info from.

Thanks

For reference...

Anzac Day was originally to mourn the 2271 New Zealand soldiers who lost their lives during the Gallipoli campaign in April 1915.

Researching:
