Description:This photograph has been taken from the Parade Ground of either "P" or "Q" Battalion Lines. Judging by the angle it could be "P" otherwise the YMCA Hut would be in view. In the distance to the right are the ever present Water Tower and Power Station Chimneys. The Camp can be seen to be sloping down the head of Old Acre Valley to the left of the photograph behind the Officers' Huts. The gentleman and two youths must have been friends of the photographer as they can be seen in quite a few of the postcards and give the view some perspective.
