Description:The eastern slopes of Old Acre Valley. This grainy image shows the tall chimneys of the Power Station and the long roof line of the Ordnance Depot on the horizon. Most photographs show electricity poles taking power to each hut which allowed night classes and self-study to carry on. This enabled the troops to have instruction throughout any time of the year and complete the courses in time. The Battalion Lines in view are "N" and "O".
