Brief History
Originally formed as the Australian and New Zealand Base Depot at Weymouth (Monte Video camp) to handle troops evacuated from Gallipoli for medical treatment in England. On 1 Jul 1916 its title changed to No. 2 Command Depot AIF, and ceased any training role for one dealing only with medical cases returning to Australia. As manpower shortages began to bight, fitness training resumed in an attempt to send fewer men home and more to the front. In time the facility expanded to include the Westham and Littlemoor camps.
